Assessing the potential of extra-early maturing landraces for improving tolerance to drought, heat, and both combined stresses in maize
Maize landrace accessions constitute an invaluable gene pool of unexplored alleles that can be harnessed to mitigate the challenges of the narrowing genetic base, declined genetic gains, and reduced resilience to abiotic stress in modern varieties developed from repeated recycling of few superior br...
