Genetic erosion in maize's center of origin.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 30 Sept 2014

Dyer George A, López-Feldman Alejandro, Yúnez-Naude Antonio, Taylor J Edward

Abstract excerpt

Crop genetic diversity is an indispensable resource for farmers and professional breeders responding to changing climate, pests, and diseases. Anecdotal appraisals in centers of crop origin have suggested serious threats to this diversity for over half a century. However, a nationwide inventory recently found all maize races previously described for Mexico, including some formerly considered nearly extinct. A...
