Proper choice of source populations contributes to the ultimate success of selection for genetic improvement. The source population should possess the most desirable alleles at as many loci as possible for intrapopulation improvement. Such desirable alleles can be intensified by introgression of exotic germplasm into locally adapted ones through hybridization followed by selection. The objectives of this study were to determine the mean performance, genetic variability (σ²G) and heritability of fresh ear yield and other important traits within two sweet corn source populations, BC1-10 × Syn-Ⅱ and BC2-10.
