Abstract excerpt
Broadening the genetic base of heterotic pools is a key to ensure continued genetic gains in hybrid breeding and extend hybrid cultivation to new areas. In the present study, two Central European heterotic pools (Carsten and Petkus) and five Eastern European open-pollinated varieties (OPVs, Pop-1 to Pop-5) were studied with the objectives to (1) investigate the genetic diversity in OPVs and the heterotic pools...
