Overview

This analysis demonstrates genetic diversity and population structure in orange maize, highlighting heterosis potential.

Key Points

  • Low variability was observed in phenotypic data, while SNP markers indicated moderate variability.
  • The study grouped the 187 orange maize lines into three distinct categories based on joint matrix analysis.
  • Mantel correlation resulted in notable indices of 0.81 for Gower and 0.68 for IBS matrices.
  • Findings may aid in developing high-yield, provitamin A-rich maize varieties, enhancing nutrition.
