Background of U.S. Hybrid Corn II

2004-03-01

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the history of a crop helps plant breeders select. This paper supplements and corrects Background of U.S. Hybrid Corn (Zea mays L., Crop Sci. 39:601–626). I explain which open-pollinated cultivars and landmark inbreds persisted into today's hybrids and attempt to explain how and why. I briefly discuss human (artificial) selection, natural selection, and food production. Pedigree background frequencie...
