This review describes the current status of genome-wide association study (GWAS) of the
major crops in maize (Zea mays L.) concentrate on performing association mapping as a …

The doubled haploid system is the fastest way of hybrid variety production and plays an
important role in breeding programs and developmental studies. The most commonly used …

Water deficits are a major constraint on maize growth and yield, and deep roots are one of
the major mechanisms of drought tolerance. In this study, four root and shoot traits were …

Main conclusion In response to low nitrogen stress, multiple hormones together with nitric
oxide signaling pathways work synergistically and antagonistically in crop root elongation …

Seedling root phenotypes may have important impacts on fitness and are more easily
measured than mature root phenotypes. We phenotyped the roots of 577 genotypes of …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have emerged as a powerful tool for unraveling
intricate genotype–phenotype association across various species. Maize (Zea mays L.) …

Background Heat tolerance is becoming increasingly important where maize is grown under
spring season in India which coincide with grain filling stage of crop resulting in tassel blast …

Nitrogen (N) limits crop production, yet more than half of N fertilizer inputs are lost to the
environment. Developing maize hybrids with improved N use efficiency can help minimize N …

Under low nitrogen (N) supply, an important adaption of the maize root system is to promote
the root elongation so as to increase N uptake from a larger soil space. The underlying …

In woody perennial plants, quantitative genetics and association studies remain scarce for
root-related traits, due to the time required to obtain mature plants and the complexity of …
