Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Genome size differed significantly between tropical and temperate maize inbred lines.
- Association Genome size and 180-bp knob abundance had a moderate positive correlation.
- Observation The ten most abundant 180-bp knob sequences were highly variable.
- Association Genome size was associated with male and female flowering time across tropical and temperate lines and environments.
- Recommendation The authors recommend smaller genome size as a marker for selecting earlier flowering breeding material.
- Method / resource The authors conclude that 180-bp knob abundance can determine genome size.
