Flooding tolerance in interspecific introgression lines containing chromosome…

† Background and Aims: Nicaraguan teosinte (Zea nicaraguensis), a species found in frequently flooded areas, provides useful germplasm for breeding flooding-tolerant maize (Z.mays subsp.mays). The objective of this studywas to select flooding-tolerant lines using a library of introgression lines (ILs), each containing a chromosome segment from Z. nicaraguensis in the maize inbred line Mi29.…
