Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Assessing the diversity among germplasm is essential to identify superior parents for hybridization programs. Thus, the present study aimed to assess the genetic diversity among 100 maize germplasm using 13 quantitative traits and 30 SSR markers. METHODS AND RESULTS: The traits studied including plant ear placement, tassel length, leaf width, ear length, and kernels per row exhibited higher to...
