| COMMENT | Notes and Remarks | Observations made by cooperators or curators while evaluating or regenerating germplasm. Usually these observations are not published and need verification or there are too few observations of this type to promote a separate trait. | OBSERVATION-NURSERY_YES | | MAIZE.OBS.INBRED.DIVERSITY.2010.NCIANYMO | Ames 27044 07ncai01 SD | |
