Linkage mapping and genomic prediction of grain quality traits in tropical maize (Zea mays L.)

Linkage mapping and genomic prediction of grain quality traits in tropical maize (Zea mays L.)

The suboptimal productivity of maize systems in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is a pressing issue, with far-reaching implications for food security, nutrition, and livelihood sustainability within the affected smallholder farming communities. Dissecting the genetic basis of grain protein, starch and oil...
