Abstract
Breeding maize for drought tolerance is becoming a major challenge in a context of climate changes and restricted irrigation. Gene banks contain underused genetic resources and adaptation traits for drought tolerance may be present in some populations originating from dry regions. We screened, under contrasted water regimes in dry-Mediterranean climate, populations originating from dry cropping zones in Southern Europe, and other populations from temperate regions with a good combining ability for yield and good agronomic features under drought scenarios in a previous study....
