Asturian populations of maize. I. Morphological-vegetative description and variability

A description of sixty six maize populations recollected in Asturias, a Northern area of Spain, is reported. Plant, ear and grain traits were considered. Mean values of the populations were obtained. Analyses of variance on eighteen traits indicated highly significant differences between populations...

Descripción
Sumario:A description of sixty six maize populations recollected in Asturias, a Northern area of Spain, is reported. Plant, ear and grain traits were considered. Mean values of the populations were obtained. Analyses of variance on eighteen traits indicated highly significant differences between populations; population x environment interaction was significant in seven traits. Heritability estimates for most of the 18 traits studied were high.
