Effects of endogamy on microsporogenesis in popcorn (Zea mays L.)

Inbred lines are necessary for the development of popcorn hybrids. Genes for several traits, among them thoserelated to the meiotic process, approach homozygosis during inbreeding. The purpose of this paper was to evaluate themeiotic stability of popcorn endogamic lines developed from a triple hybri...
