Abstract
The effect of selection for high versus low kernel density
and flint versus dent kernel type in a synthetic corn variety.
Major Professor: Paul L. Crane.
One of the important aims in world-wide work on corn
improvement has been yield increase. Several plant characters
have been studied and their relationship to yield
determined. The effect of selection for kernel type is a
topic on which little work has been done. This work tries
to determine the effect of kernel type and kernel type
selection on yield and other characters.
