Individual plant genetics reveal the control of local adaptation in European maize landraces

Abstract Background European maize landraces encompass a large amount of genetic diversity, allowing them to be well-adapted to their local environments. This diversity can be exploited to improve the fitness of elite material in the face of a changing climate. Results We characterized the genetic d...
