Candidate loci for leaf angle in maize revealed by a combination of genome-wide association study and meta-analysis

Leaf angle (LA) is a key component of maize plant architecture that can simultaneously govern planting density and improve final yield. However, the genetic mechanisms underlying LA have not been fully addressed. To broaden our understanding of its genetic basis, we scored three LA-related traits on...
