Integrated transcriptomic and BSA-seq analyses identify novel QTL and candidate genes for stay-green in maize
The stay-green trait is crucial for enhancing maize yield and stress tolerance, yet its genetic basis in new germplasm remains underexplored. This study aimed to dissect the molecular mechanisms underlying stay-green in the inbred line T01 using an integrated approach. We constructed an F₂:₃ population from...
