The effect of selection intensity and population size on the response to selection for percent oil in the grain of maize (Zea mays L.) was evaluated in a replicated experiment over ten cycles of selection. An open-pollinated variety, Armel's Reid Yellow Dent, was divided into subpopulations of 6,10

In order to evaluate the response at both the gametophytic and sporophytic level of a selection based on the pollen competitive ability and to compare its effects with those obtainable from a conventional sporophytic procedure, three recurrent selection plans were developed in maize starting from th
The effect of genotype on maternal haploid plant production in maize was studied. The frequency of gynogenetic plants when "Stock 6" was used as pollinator varied according to the female parent genotype. No simple relation was observed between genotypic aptitudes for gynogenetic and androgenetic dev
