Genetic diversity and population structure of maize inbred lines using phenotypic traits and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers

Abstract Understanding germplasm’s genetic diversity is essential for developing new and improved cultivars with stable yields under diverse environments. The objective of this study was to determine the genetic diversity and population structure of 128 maize inbred lines sourced from the Internatio...
