Physiological adaptive traits are a potential allele reservoir for maize genetic progress under challenging conditions
C. Welcker, N. A. Spencer, et al.
This research analyzes 65 years of genetic progress in maize yield, revealing that breeders have selected for traits that stabilize yield in various environments, while stress adaptation traits showed little change. Conducted by an expert team of researchers, this study opens the door for innovative breeding strategies to enhance climate resilience.
