Genetic dissection of maize grain moisture content and dehydration rate using high-density bin mapping in a recombinant inbred line population

Abstract Maize (Zea mays L.) grain moisture content (GMC) at harvest is a key determinant of seed preservation, grain quality, and drying costs, with the grain dehydration rate (GDR) playing a critical role in determining GMC. This study focused on understanding the genetic basis of GDR by utilizing...
