Reciprocal recurrent selection effects on the genetic structure of tropical maize populations assessed at microsatellite loci

A modified reciprocal recurrent selection (RRS) method, which employed one cycle of high-intensity selection, was applied to two tropical maize (Zea mays L.) populations, BR-105 and BR-106, originating the improved synthetics IG-3 and IG-4, respectively. In the present study the effects of this kind...
