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 map** as a …

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

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

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Manifold and diverse applications of doubled haploid (DH) plants have emerged in
academy and in the plant breeding industry since the first discovery of a haploid mutant in …

Nitrogen (N) deficiency is one of the main factors limiting maize (Zea mays L.) productivity.
Genetic improvement of root traits could improve nitrogen use efficiency. An association …
