Evaluation of maize pre-breeding materials under the Seeds of Discovery initiative in 2018

These data describe the evaluation of landrace-derived pre-breeding materials for biotic and abiotic stress resistance as well as for blue maize production in 2018. Populations of interest for drought stress during flowering time, heat stress during flowering time, Tar Spot tolerance, and blue maize production were evaluated for yield potential and response to the stresses with support from the MasAgro Biodiversidad project and the CGIAR Research Program on Maize.
