• Characterization of a global germplasm collection and its potential utilization for analysis of complex quantitative traits in maize (2011, methodology): “This may be due to the limited lines used for SS and the CIMMYT maize breeding history for TST, as discussed previously (Dhliwayo et al. 2009).”
• Molecular marker-assisted breeding options for maize improvement in Asia (2010, background): “However, the SSR loci, in general, may not be useful for predicting heterosis or hybrid performance among the lines, since genetic distance estimated using SSR data has so far met with limited success for maize (e.g., Dhliwayo et al. 2009; Melchinger 1999; Xie et al. 2007, 2008).”
