Population structure analysis and identification of genomic regions under selection associated with low-nitrogen tolerance in tropical maize lines.

Increasing low nitrogen (N) tolerance in maize is an important goal for food security and agricultural sustainability. In order to analyze the population structure of tropical maize lines and identify genomic regions associated with low-N tolerance, a set of 64 inbred lines were evaluated under low-...
