Development of Novel Hybrid Models for Prediction of Drought- and Stress-Tolerance Indices in Teosinte Introgressed Maize Lines Using Artificial Intelligence Techniques

Maize (Zea mays subsp. mays) is a staple food crop in the world. Drought is one of the most common abiotic challenges that maize faces when it comes to growth, development, and production. Further knowledge of drought tolerance could aid with maize production. However, there has been less study focused on investigating in depth the drought tolerance of inbred maize lines using artificial intellige…
