Experimental Evaluation of Relationships among Populations Resulting from Intergradation among Cultivars of ZEA MAYS L.
Populations were developed as intergradations among three maize cultivars, two adapted to North Carolina and one to Mexico, with the objective of testing whether diallel information could be used to identify the relationships among populations. The data substantiated theoretical observations that the technique would identify relationships among populations resulting from recent intergradations.
