Select the tab for the type of search. Each tab has everything you need to do to perform that type of search.

(Results of more than 500 will not return images.)

This search will show only accessions that have material that may be requested, including those not seasonally available.
You may list accessions with separators (commas or semicolons, as shown below) or by entering them on separate lines, such as
PI 651794
PI 651649
PI 651650
When searching a range of accessions, use the Advanced Search tab with the Accession Identifier Range criterion.

The more information you provide, the better the search will be.

0PI 636502BSLE(M-L)C30Zea mays L. subsp. mays Iowa, United StatesNC7EAR2004DEVELOPEDBreeding materialA strain of Iowa Long Ear Synthetic (BSLECO) developed by 30 cycles of mass selection for increased ear length. Average ear length increased 0.27 cm/cycle of mass seletion. Ear length of BSLE(M-L)C27 was 27.3 cm compared with 20.0 cm for BSLECO. Selection for increased ear length did not increase grain yield; there was a nonsignificant yield decrease of 0.27 t/ha after 27 cycles of mass selection for increased ear length. Correlated changes with mass selection for increased ear length included increases in plant (41 cm) and ear (27 cm) height and days to flower (5.7 d), whereas ear diameter (0.54 cm) and number of kernel rows (1.6) decreased compared with BSLECO. Root and stalk lodging and prolificacy also increased with mass selection for increased ear length.1669131PI 636502
1PI 636503BSLE(M-S)C30Zea mays L. subsp. mays Iowa, United StatesNC7KERNELSNot Available2004DEVELOPEDBreeding materialA strain of Iowa Long Ear Synthetic (BSLECO) developed after 30 cycles of mass selection for reduced ear length. Average ear length decreased 0.37 cm/cycle of mass selection. After 27 cycles of mass selection, ear length was 10 cm less than average ear length of BSLECO. Correlated changes with selection for reduced ear length included 2.20 t/ha less grain yield, reductions of 43 cm for plant height, 22 cm for ear height, and 5.7 d for days to flower, increases 0.27 cm for ear diameter and 3.0 for number of kernel rows, and reductions in root and stalk lodging compared with BSLECO.1669132PI 636503
