Prepotency of inbred sires on commercial varieties of maize
1931
Lindstrom, E.W.
Experimental results with the use of inbred sires on commercial varieties of dent and sweet corn have demonstrated that significantly increased yields of grain are possible. A marked prepotency of the inbred sires for ear type, disease resistance (smut), lodging, and uniformity of maturity was definitely established. The simplicity of the practical phases in the production of seed renders this inbred-sire breeding system practicable for the average progressive corn breeder. Its application to modem animal breeding is extremely suggestive.
