- Observation M, C and T synthetic groups differed in chromosome knob number, kernel row number and maturity time.
- Association More teosinte germplasm produced earlier maturity in corn.
- Association More teosinte germplasm raised dry matter content in corn stover and grain.
- Association More teosinte germplasm reduced vegetative vigour.
- Observation Synthetic corn top crosses had excellent vegetative growth.
- Observation New York hybrids differed significantly in combining ability with exotic germplasm.
- Association Chromosome knob number was significantly correlated with seven variables in top crosses.
