Identification of Multiple Genetic Loci Related to Low-Temperature Tolerance during Germination in Maize (Zea maize L.) through a Genome-Wide Association Study.

ABSTRACT: Low-temperature stress during the germination stage is an important abiotic stress that affects the growth and development of northern spring maize and seriously restricts maize yield and quality. Although some quantitative trait locis (QTLs) related to low-temperature tolerance in maize have been detected, only a few can be commonly detected, and the QTL intervals are large, indicating that low-temperature tolerance is a complex trait that requires more in-depth research. In this study, 296 excellent inbred lines from domestic and foreign origins (America and Europe) were used as the study materials, and a low-coverage resequencing method was employed for genome sequencing. Five phenotypic traits related to low-temperature tolerance were used to assess the genetic diversity of maize throu
