The paper develops a maize MAGIC population to dissect grain yield and proxy traits under stress, identifying QTL and improving genomic prediction models.

This study identifies QTL for maize seedling root traits under chilling conditions that influence early plant development in the field.

The paper identifies QTL for lateral root length in maize across developmental stages and examines their correlation with biomass under different nutrient conditions.

The paper identifies a structural variation in lhcb6 in maize landraces that affects photosystem II maximum quantum efficiency through differential accumulation of LHCII antenna components.

The paper identifies a rare allele of ndhm1 in maize that improves cold tolerance and photosynthetic efficiency through NDH-mediated cyclic electron transport.

The paper identifies novel haplotypes in maize landraces associated with quantitative traits and demonstrates their superior performance compared to breeding lines.

The paper reports high-quality genome sequences of European flint maize lines and analyzes genomic dynamics between European and US maize germplasm.
