Abstract
Association studies have rarely been used in plant genetics, in part becaus e of the risk of false positives caused by population structure. A study of flowering time in maize makes the first use of recent 'structured associat ion' methods-statistical approaches that use independent loci to control fo r the effects of structure and admixture.
