Genetic analysis and QTL mapping for pericarp thickness in maize (Zea mays L.)

Abstract Proper pericarp thickness protects the maize kernel against pests and diseases, moreover, thinner pericarp improves the eating quality in fresh corn. In this study, we aimed to investigate the dynamic changes in maize pericarp during kernel development and identified the major quantitative...
