In this study, a genome-wide association analysis was used to detect key single-nueleotide polymorphisms （SNPs） associated with fast chlorophyll fluorescence parameters using more than 560 000 SNPs in a maize panel consisting of 404 inbred lines. In four fidd environments, 41 SNPs were detected to be associated with five fast chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, including ABS/CS0, ET0/CS0, TR0/ABS, ET0/TR0 and Pies. Among these identified SNPs, 8, 6, 18, 4 and 5 were significantly associated with ET0/TR0, ABS/ CS0, TR0/ABS, ET0/CS, and Plcs, respectively. These SNPs will help to discover genes for chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, better understand the genetic basis of photosynthesis, and assist in developing marker-assisted selection breeding programs in maize.展开更多
