High-density single nucleotide polymorphism markers analysis reveals the genetic diversity and population structure in tropical highland maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines.

Abstract excerpt

Genetic diversity is critical for crop improvement, germplasm conservation, and sustainable agriculture. It enables breeders to assess genetic relationships among germplasm, select suitable parents, and develop resilient varieties. In this study, a total of 11,203 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers were used to evaluate the genetic diversity of 93 maize inbred lines adapted to the East African tropical...
