Genome wide association studies using a new nonparametric model reveal the genetic architecture of 17 agronomic traits in an enlarged maize association panel.

Using the MLM method, we were only able to identify the marginally significant association for ZmCCT (−log 10 ( P ) = 5.64) and there were no strong signals in other genome regions ( Figure 2B ).

Interestingly, some associations that differed in the width of the phenotype distribution but which had nearly identical trait means were found to be highly significant by the A-D test but not significant by MLM.
