Analysis Of Clinal Variation In Maize: Implementation OfAn Experimental Framework For Studying Crop Adaptation
http://www.maizeatlas.org 2011-67003-30342
Objective
Approach
Create knowledge, approaches and resources for adapting crops to new environments
Develop an integrated experimental framework to study barriers to adaptationElucidate the genetic basis
of selection response for environmental adaptationProduce new genetic and
genomic resources and analytical methods for plant
breeding
ImpactEnhance the ability to harness untapped gene diversity for the
development ofclimate-resilient germplasm

Introgression lines developed
for studying genetics barriers
to adaptation; being
characterized across 8
environments from WI to PR.
