Abstract excerpt
Understanding germplasm's genetic diversity is essential for developing new and improved cultivars with stable yields under diverse environments. The objective of this study was to determine the genetic diversity and population structure of 128 maize inbred lines sourced from the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre (CIMMYT), and the...
