Genome-wide association analysis of drought resistance and yield-related traits in maize inbred lines in Northwest China
Drought stress is a primary constraint on global maize production, significantly impairing plant growth, reproductive synchrony, and grain yield. To address this challenge, we aimed to identify SNPs and candidate genes associated with maize drought tolerance, with emphasis on grain yield (GY) and its drought resi...
