摘      要：The improvement of grain yield is an essential long-term goal for maize breeders to meet continual and increasing food demands *** dissected the genetic architecture of maize ear traits with a set of 10 independent RIL(recombination inbred lines)populations(maize Random-Open-parents Association Mapping population,ROAM).We found that dozens of minor to moderate effect loci influence ear traits,
