Genetic Control of Prolificacy and Related Traits in the Golden Glow Maize Population

2005-07-01

Abstract excerpt

Prolificacy (the potential to produce ear shoots at multiple nodes on the main stalk) has been under selection since the early domestication of maize (Zea mays subsp. mays) from teosinte (Z. mays subsp. parviglumis). Until the early part of the 20th century, before mechanization, human selection may have favored single-eared maize because it facilitated hand-harvesting. Prolificacy, however, has the potential to i...
