Multi-environment QTL mapping of crown root traits in a maize RIL population

Crown root traits, including crown root angle (CRA), diameter (CRD), and number (CRN), are major determining factors of root system architecture, which influences crop production. In maize, the genetic mechanisms determining crown root traits in the field are largely unknown. CRA, CRD, and CRN were...
