Identification of ZmPH1 as a plant height novel gene in maize.
Plant height is a key agricultural trait for lodging resistance in maize. To explore key genes regulating plant height, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted using a large population of 1149 inbred lines. Plant height (PH), ear height (EH), and ear height coefficient (EH/PH) in this population followed a...
