Abstract in brief
The study investigates the genetic basis of flowering time in maize using a large population of 5000 recombinant inbred lines across eight environments, finding no single large-effect QTLs but many small-effect QTLs shared among different families.
These small-effect QTLs vary in their allelic effects depending on the founder lines, and there is no clear influence of geographic origin, epistasis, or environmental interactions on these loci.
Overall, the results suggest that maize flowering time is controlled by a polygenic, additive genetic architecture, which differs from the more complex or epistatic architectures observed in species like rice and Arabidopsis.
@alex_nguyen_ba Lovely use of barcoding to get massive populations for QTLs. Have you looked at the QTL studies in the Maize NAM population which also show super high polygenicity?https://t.co/asug9QtCns
