title: Key impact of Vgt1 on flowering time adaptation in maize: evidence from association mapping and ecogeographical information.
abstract: An association study conducted on 375 maize inbred lines indicates a strong relationship between Vgt1 polymorphisms and flowering time, extending former quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping results. Analysis of allele frequencies in a landrace collection supports a key role of Vgt1 in maize altilatitudinal adaptation.
