Replication Data for: Discovery of Genomic Regions Associated with Grain Yield and Agronomic Traits in Bi-parental Populations of Maize (Zea mays. L) under Optimum and Low Nitrogen Conditions

Low soil nitrogen stress can contribute to food insecurity, malnutrition, and rural poverty in maize-dependent smallholder communities of sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Enhanced selection for improved varieites may result from a better understanding of the genomic regions associated with low nitrogen tolerance. Four F3 maize populations were used to study the genetic architecture of grain yield (GY) and its associated traits (anthesis-silking interval (ASI), anthesis date (AD), plant height (PH), ear position (EPO), and ear height (EH)) under different soil nitrogen regimes in Kenya and Zimbabwe. Information about the populations and the genotypic data used in the analyses are provided in this dataset. The results of the analysis are reported in the related journal article.
