Abstract:
Flowering time reflects an adaptive response to the environment through floral transition to local conditions and thus is an important selection criterion in plant breeding. Major genetic components that regulate flowering time have been cloned, but quantitative trait locus analyses indicate that there are numerous additional components. To detect more maize flowering time variants we evaluated flowering time traits using an extremely large multi‐background population and identified at least 90 flowering time regions and over 200 candidate genes.
