Unveiling the heterosis pattern of modern maize breeding in Southwest China through population structure and genetic diversity analysis

Maize (Zea mays L.) is an important food crop throughout the world and is also one of the earliest crops to use heterosis. In this study, we evaluated the genetic diversity, population structure, and selective sweep of 100 elite inbred maize lines collected from the current breeding program in Sichu...
