Abstract

Maize breeding starts from the collection of adapted local strains and the introduction of exotic germplasm in regions with similar climates, considering genetic diversity.Classification of the strains based on their origin and the evaluation of their characteristics in introduction fields is a basis to determine and select superior materiasls for breeding hybrids as well as the studies on variability and differentiation.
