Application of ZM00001D012005 gene in regulating starch content of maize kernels

Abstract

The disclosure relates to the field of molecular marker-assisted breeding of maize, and specifically an application of a Zm00001d012005 gene in regulating starch content of maize kernels. Specifically, an application of a gene related to starch content of maize kernels in molecular marker-assisted breeding of maize is provided in the disclosure. A sequence of the Zm00001d012005 gene is as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1. In the disclosure, genome-wide association study (GWAS) analysis and genetic linkage analysis are utilized to co-localize SNP_166371888 which is on chromosome 8 and significantly associated with kernel starch content, and a functional gene Zm00001d012005 that regulates the kernel starch content is further identified. The gene Zm00001d012005 can explain 10.19% of phenotypic variation in the kernel starch content.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
