The Pericarp thickness of
the parent waxy corn inbred line (P1) was 115.6 μm thicker than that of
the parent sweet corn inbred line (P2)
In contrast, the AMY, DEX and
SUC of the P1 parent were 6.63%, 0.38 g/L and 1.61 g/L less
than those of the P2, respectively
The values of PER and
SUC for the F1 plants were between those of P1 and P2
The
values of AMY and DEX obtained for the F1 population
were higher and lower, respectively, than those of both
parental lines
