- Association Popcorn quality traits improved significantly in QPP BC 3 cultivars relative to their BC 2 counterparts.
- Association Yield averages were significantly lower in BC 3-derived QPP hybrids than in the BC 2 population.
- Association Protein quality traits did not differ significantly between QPP backcrossing populations.
- Association Protein quality traits were significantly superior in QPP populations to ConAgra elite popcorn varieties.
- Association QPP cultivars had slightly inferior popping characteristics compared with the original popcorn germplasm.
- Association BC 2 F 5 QPP hybrids were phenotypically similar to their popcorn parents.
- Association Five QPP F1 hybrids were superior in agronomics, endosperm protein quality and popping quality traits and were selected for further evaluation.
