Article Synopsis
- - The Maize GxE project, part of the Genomes to Fields Initiative, studies how different genetic types (genotypes) of maize interact with varying environmental conditions to improve resource use and predictability in crop performance.
- - Data collected from 30 locations in the US and one in Germany during 2020-2021 include phenotypic details, soil and climate measurements, and other relevant metadata, all of which are being made publicly accessible.
- - Collaborators at each site collected and submitted data, which was then verified and compiled by a coordination team, ensuring accuracy before releasing a minimally filtered version to the public.
The Stiff Stalk heterotic pool is a foundation of US maize seed parent germplasm and has been heavily utilized by both public and private maize breeders since its inception in the 1930s. Flowering time and plant height are critical characteristics for both inbred parents and their test crossed hybrid progeny. To study these traits, a 6-parent multiparent advanced generation intercross population was developed including maize inbred lines B73, B84, PHB47 (B37 type), LH145 (B14 type), PHJ40 (novel early Stiff Stalk), and NKH8431 (B73/B14 type).
