Genetic diversity evolution through participatory maize breeding in Portugal

2008-05-01

Abstract excerpt

Natural, and in particular, artificial (human) selection may pose a danger to the existing crop genetic diversity. Nevertheless, on-farm breeding systems seem to achieve phenotypic improvements even though preserving variability. Using SSR markers, we analysed several selection cycles, over a 20 years period, of a Portuguese on-farm participatory maize OPV-'Pigarro' breeding project. No significant differences in...
