Integrating GWAS and gene expression to decipher genetic components of pericarp thickness and soluble sugars in sweet corn

Abstract Background Grain quality in sweet corn (Zea mays L.) is primarily determined by pericarp thickness and soluble sugar composition, which influence consumer preference and processing suitability. Despite their importance, the genetic basis of these traits remains insufficiently understood. El...
