European maize was introduced from Central America in the South of Europe at the end of the 15th century, and from Northern America in the North of Europe following the expeditions of the early 16th century. In order to better understand its later history in Europe, we compared the genetic diversity of European maize in the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century, represented by plants collected in an ancient herbarium, with the diversity of American and European maize populations collected around 50 years ago and maintained as living samples in collections. Samples were obtained from the herbarium of Paris (MNHN). Fractions of leaves or spikelets (from 2 to 37 mg) were collected from 17 plates. Samples are 138 years old in aver...
