Genetic dissection of hundred-kernel weight through combined genome-wide association study and linkage analysis in tropical maize

Abstract Background Hundred-kernel weight (HKW) is a crucial determinant of maize yield. Understanding the genetic mechanisms underlying HKW is vital for maize breeding programs aimed at enhancing productivity. This study aimed to explore the genetic basis of HKW in maize using a multi-parent popula...
