But enclosed in tropical lines of latitude, with appropriate squiggles for mountains, coasts and interior borders, it's an inkblot for projecting travel fantasies.
In most breeding programs, few crosses are made between temperate and tropical lines due to adaptation issues for temperate lines in tropical regions and vice versa.
The diversity of alleles of this gene was investigated using an allele mining strategy and has demonstrated that there is a much higher frequency for alleles favorable to human health in tropical lines than in temperate lines [17].
As reported in other studies, tropical lines have more rare SNPs than temperate lines [ 13].
In the NCRPIS panel, correlation between PHT and DTA may result from inclusion of late-flowering tall tropical lines.
Furthermore, American maize lines revealed higher call rates on average compared to European lines, followed by call rates of tropical lines and hybrids.
Seeds from ten maize inbred lines (including five temperate and five tropical lines) and six teosinte, including three Zea mays ssp.
The Flint panel was composed of European Northern Flints and lines originating from Spain, Italy, and France, as well as sweetcorn, popcorn, and tropical lines.
The maize data, including 14 trait environment combinations measured on 300 tropical lines genotyped with 55 000 single-nucleotide polymorphisms, were previously used by González-Camacho et al. (2012).
