Other claims from this paper (8)
- Method / resource RNA-Seq identified 899,784 SNP markers in 942 diverse maize inbred lines.
- Association GWAS found 16 candidate genes associated with four maize stalk traits.
- Observation Most detected candidate genes involved basic cellular functions.
- Association Zmm22 and an ortholog of Fpa were associated with plant height.
- Association A transgenic approach confirmed the association of Zmm22 with height.
- Intervention effect Increased Zmm22 expression significantly decreased tassel branch number.
- Observation The association panel had substantial heritable variation in stalk traits.
- Association GWAS detected candidate genes associated with multiple stalk traits.
