Increasing the frequency of favorable alleles in elite germplasm is necessary for germplasm improvement and innovation in maize (Zea mays L.) breeding programs. Jidan27 (Si287 × Si144), an elite commercial single cross hybrid that represents the predominant heterotic pattern Chinese Sipingtou × Stiff Stalk Synthetic, has been widely cultivated in the Northeast China Corn Belt.
