Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: This eight-founder MAGIC population represents a powerful resource for dissecting complex traits in maize, assessing the utility of drought proxy traits, and optimizing low-coverage whole-genome sequencing approaches. Securing sustainable crop production requires the genetic improvement of abiotic stress tolerance. Due to the broad range of environmental factors causing abiotic stress and complex...
