Genetic diversity and population structure of early and extra-early maturing maize germplasm adapted to sub-Saharan Africa

Genetic diversity and population structure of early and extra-early maturing maize germplasm adapted to sub-Saharan Africa

Abstract Background Assessment and effective utilization of genetic diversity in breeding programs is crucial for sustainable genetic improvement and rapid adaptation to changing breeding objectives. During the past two decades, the commercialization of the early and extra-early maturing cultivars h...
