World's diversity of phenotypes of maize
1933
Kuleshov, N.N.
This short sketch on the variability and diversities of maize phenotypes leads us to the conclusion that genetic investigations have not yet exhausted the phenotypical richness in the maize plant. The group of extra-late corn varieties (having over 30 leaves) has been left completely out of the genetic investigation. This group is very interesting, because by its distribution it is connected with those centers where occur the greatest variability of characters to be distinguished by the eye. Under the covering of dominant characteristics much is left undiscovered that can be ascertained only by genetic analysis. The attention of geneticists and corn breeders should not be limited only to studying known varieties and to the forms which can mature in moderate latitudes, but should include all the diversity of the species partly shown in this paper.
