Genetic diversity in maize landraces from indigenous settlements of Northeastern Argentina

In South America, native maize germplasm has been extensively studied particularly for the Andean region. However, relatively few genetic diversity studies include materials from the eastern region of the continent. Herein we present a genetic diversity characterization of four Popcorn maize landrac...
