Five different ribosomal DNA (rDNA) intergenic spacer-length variants (slvs) were detected among the maize inbreds which were the progenitors of Iowa Stiff Stalk Synthetic (BSSS). One rDNA Sst1 restriction site polymorphism in the 3' region of the 26S gene was detected. 9 different rDNA intergenic spacer (IGS) hybridization fragment patterns (assigned letter designations A-1) were observed among the BSSS progenitors. Following 7 cycles of half-sib recurrent selection in BSSS using the Ia13 double cross as a tester, hybridization fragment pattern E became predominant in the population. In contrast, 11 cycles of reciprocal recurrent selection in BSSS with the Iowa Corn Borer Synthetic No.1 (BSCB1) population resulted in hybridization pattern D becoming predominant. Hybridization pattern E is present in the elite inbreds B14, B37, B73, and B84, which were derived from different cycles of the BSSS half-sib recurrent selection program with la13. Hybridization pattern D is present in the elite inbreds B89 and B94, which were derived from different cycles of the BSSS reciprocal recurrent selection program with BSCB1. Therefore, two different forms of recurrent selection on BSSS resulted in different hybridization patterns becoming predominant in the selected populations and present in elite inbreds derived from the populations. These results also suggest that rDNA IGS hybridization fragment patterns D and E, which both have the longest slv detected, may have a selective or adaptive advantage in BSSS materials grown in the Corn Belt.
