Title
Identification of candidate genes regulating maize leaf angle based on GWAS
Jialei Ou; Xian Dong; Shiya Zhang; et al. Crop Science 2026. doi:10.1002/csc2.70282
Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Two co-localized SNPs (rs_2_201960860 and rs_2_201960877) were consistently identified across environments in maize leaf angle GWAS.
- Observation Eight candidate genes were linked to the region of the co-localized SNPs.
- Observation Candidate gene Zm00001d006212 displayed high expression in leaf tissue.
- Association Leaf angle values associated with haplotypes Hap1, Hap2 and Hap3 of Zm00001d006212 were significantly lower than those associated with Hap4.
- Method / resource A molecular marker designed from Zm00001d006212 variants showed that plants with the target band had significantly larger leaf angle than plants without it.
