The effects of four cycles of recurrent selection on the allele frequencies of simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and population structure were examined in the Maksimir 3 Synthetic (M3S) maize population (Zea mays L.). Genotyping of 32 plants from each selection cycle at 38 SSR loci revealed that...
