Abstract excerpt
Using advanced intermated populations has been proposed as a way to increase the accuracy of mapping experiments. An F(3) population of 300 lines and an advanced intermated F(3) population of 322 lines, both derived from the same parental maize inbred lines, were jointly evaluated for dry grain yield (DGY), grain moisture (GM), and silking date (SD). Genetic variance for dry grain yield was significantly lower in...
