Genome-Wide Association Analysis Identifies Loci and Candidate Genes for 100-Kernel Weight in Maize

Maize is an important food crop, and 100-kernel weight (HKW) is one of the three key components of yield. In this study, 200 maize inbred lines were used as the material, and HKW was evaluated over three consecutive years in two environments. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted usin...
