a Nucleotide diversity (pi value) across teosinte, landraces, and maize. n indicate 380, 387, 356 independent data points from left to right, respectively. ns, not significant. P values were determined by two-sided Student’s t tests. ***P < 0.001. Violin plots: median ± upper and lower quartiles. b Allele frequency of lrs1 across teosinte, landraces and maize. Less allele, allele associated with less TBN; More allele, allele associated with more TBN. c Association signals over lrs1 with TBN in a maize diversity panel. Four significant SNPs were uncovered. d Allele frequency of the SNP (Chr8: 172048437) in lrs1 across different modern breeding populations. e Variation in TBN across different populations, sorted as a function of the lead association SNP. n indicate 57, 13, 75, 8, 22, 6, 76, 15, 44, 7 independent inbred lines from left to right, respectively. Data represent means ± s.d.
