Association mapping for maize stover yield and saccharification efficiency using a multiparent advanced generation intercross (MAGIC) population

Abstract Cellulosic ethanol derived from fast growing C4 grasses could become an alternative to finite fossil fuels. With the potential to generate a major source of lignocellulosic biomass, maize has gained importance as an outstanding model plant for studying the complex cell wall network and also...
