Maize evolution under domestication is a process that continues today. Case studies
suggest that Mexican smallholder family farmers, known as campesinos, contribute …

Adaptation of crops to climate change has motivated an increasing interest in the potential
value of novel traits from wild species; maize wild relatives, the teosintes, harbor traits that …

Traditional landraces of maize are cultivated throughout more than one-half of Mexico's
cropland. Efforts to organize in situ conservation of this important genetic resource have …

Maize is highly genetically and phenotypically diverse. Tropical maize and teosinte are
important genetic resources that harbor unique alleles not found in temperate maize hybrids …

• Premise of the study: Teosinte species are the closest relatives of maize and represent an
important but increasingly rare genetic resource for maize improvement and the study of …

The aim was to evaluate yield of forage, grain and biomass and fibre content of eight hybrids
