Extended Data Fig. 10

a. Enrichment of genes associated with yield-related traits in GY genes. Permutation analyses were conducted 100 times for the randomly selected genes, and the distribution of the overlapping genes between the randomly selected genes (Random) or genes significantly associated with yield-related traits (from GWAS)25,27,28,29 (Observed) and the GY genes (shown in Fig. 4i) were compared. The comparison showed that the genes with SNPs significantly associated with yield-related traits were significantly enriched in the GY genes. The distances of the SNPs to the genes was shown on the top of each chart: Inside, SNPs located in the genes; 1-, 2-, 5-, 10- or 20 kb flanking, SNPs located in the regions 1, 2, 5, 10 or 20 kb on either side of the gene body. b. Enrichment of genes regulating yield-related traits in GY genes. Permutation analyses were conducted 100 times for the randomly selected genes, and the distribution of the overlapping genes between the randomly selected genes (Random) or genes regulating maize grain-yield-related traits published in the last 25 years (Observed) and the GY genes (shown in Fig. 4i) were compared. The comparison showed that the genes regulating grain-yield-related traits were significantly enriched in the GY genes. P values in a and b were calculated by chi-squared test.
