Genome and transcriptome wide association study identify candidate genes regulating folate levels in maize

BackgroundMaize (Zea mays L.) serves as a crucial dietary source of folate for humans. However, the genetic regulatory mechanisms underlying the natural variation of folate in maize remain poorly understood. Here, we integrated multi-omics approaches to elucidate the molecular mechanisms governing f...
