Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Differentiation between Stiff Stalk and Non-Stiff Stalk heterotic groups increased significantly over time, while genetic diversity within both groups declined, highlighting the impact of long-term selection in hybrid maize breeding. Differentiation between Stiff Stalk and Non-Stiff Stalk heterotic groups increased significantly over time, while genetic diversity within both groups declined,...
