Abstract excerpt
Background/Objectives: Popcorn (Zea mays L. var. everta) is an important specialty maize type; however, the genetic variation underlying popping-related quality traits remains insufficiently characterized in breeding. Methods: In this study, 18 popcorn inbred lines were analyzed using 25 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers distributed across all 10 maize chromosomes, and 16 lines were further evaluated for...
