Abstract excerpt
Maize (Zea mays L.) productivity in Sub-Saharan Africa is increasingly constrained by recurrent drought linked to climate change. Improving yield stability under contrasting moisture conditions remains challenging, especially when breeding materials are derived from parental lines within the same heterotic group (e.g., Group A × Group A), where genetic divergence is limited. We hypothesized that doubled haploid...
