Long-term on-farm participatory maize breeding by stratified mass selection retains molecular diversity while improving agronomic performance

Modern maize breeding programs gave rise to genetically uniform varieties that can affect maize's capacity to cope with increasing climate unpredictability. Maize populations, genetically more heterogeneous, can evolve and better adapt to a broader range of edaphic–climatic conditions. These po...
