Description
Torrent, Federico and their co-authors map genetic diversity in temperate maize lines from a public breeding program in Argentina, in work listed for 2026. Knowing that diversity helps breeders gain ground and react when goals change.
The team genotyped hundreds of lines with a mid-density marker panel and kept most lines and markers after cleaning. Lines showed high diversity and low redundancy, with low inbreeding-like sameness within each line. Two main origin groups stood out, tied to Argentine Flint and a US synthetic source. They also picked a core set that kept all alleles found in the full panel.
