Genomic analysis of selected maize landraces from Sahel and Coastal west Africa reveals their variability and potential for genetic enhancement
Genetic adaptation of maize to the increasingly unpredictable climatic conditions is an essential prerequisite for achievement of food security and sustainable development goals in sub-Saharan Africa. The landraces of maize; which have not served as sources of improved germplasm; are invaluable sour...
