Characterization of QTL for oil content in maize kernel

Kernel oil content in maize is a complex quantitative trait. Phenotypic variation in kernel oil content can be dissected into its component traits such as oil metabolism and physical characteristics of the kernel, including embryo size and embryo-to-endos

玉米籽粒含油量是一个复杂的数量性状。籽粒含油量的表型变异可分解为其组成性状，例如油脂代谢以及籽粒的物理特性，包括胚的大小和胚与胚乳的比例（此处原句“embryo-to-endos”似乎不完整）。
