Maize Doubled Haploid and Recombinant Inbred Line Populations

UW-Madison researchers have developed doubled haploid and recombinant inbred line populations from crosses among public maize lines for the purposes of genetic mapping. In hybrid combination, these lines can provide insight into the value of parents to produce cultivars for specific production combinations. Specific lines may have value as parents of hybrids, or in breeding new lines.
