maize association mapping panel | maizeAMP | EastAsiaAmerica | China,USA | 507 | Collection of more than 500 inbreds for association mapping panel (AMP) with different populations including non-stiff-stock (NSS); Stiff-stock (SS); Tropical and Semi-tropical (TST). |

Sweet corn(Coming soon) | Sweet | EastAsia | China | 295 | Sweet corn is a cereal with a high sugar content. Sweet corn is the result of a naturally occurring recessive mutation in the genes which control conversion of sugar to starch inside the ENO of the corn kernel. |

Waxy corn(Coming soon) | Waxy | EastAsia | China | 318 | Waxy corn contains more amylopectin or waxy starch than regular dent corn, Waxy maize yield about 3.5% less than their normal dent counterparts and has to be isolated from any nearby normal maize fields by at least 200 meters. |

Teosinte panel(Coming soon) | Teo | America | Mexico,USA | 184 | Teosintes are critical components of maize evolution. According to the most widely held evolutionary model, the crop was derived directly from Z. m. parviglumis; but in some varieties up to 20% of its genetic material came from Z. m. mexicana through introgression |
