In total, 1,015 doubled-haploid lines derived from three European flint maize landraces were generated: 516 from Kemater Landmais Gelb (KE), 432 from Petkuser Ferdinand Rot (PE), and 67 from Lalin (LL). The landraces were pre-selected for phenotypic variation in cold-related traits assessed in field trials and population genetic analyses.

One multi-parental dent MAGIC DH library segregating for drought and heat tolerance was established which comprises 500 DH lines derived from eight non-BSSS inbred lines.
