Genome-wide association analysis and QTL mapping reveal the genetic control of cadmium accumulation in maize leaf

Abstract Background Accumulation of cadmium (Cd) in maize (Zea mays L.) poses a significant risk to human health as it is ingested via the food chain. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted in a population of 269 maize accessions with 43,737 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to id...
