  • We evaluated the morphological characteristics of 79 popcorn inbred lines, which were developed to breeding popcorn variety at Maize Experiment Station, Gangwon Agricultural Research and Extension Services, by examining ten quantitative and three qualitative characteristics. In the survey of 3 qualitative traits for 79 popcorn inbred lines, most inbred lines respectively showed purple (46 inbred lines) at tassel color (QL1), green (55inbred lines) at silk color (QL2) and green (75 inbred lines) at stem color (QL3). While, on the survey of 10 quantitative traits among 79 popcorn inbred lines, they showed the morphological variation in plant height (QN1, $174.2{\pm}34.9$ cm), ear height (QN2, $103.4{\pm}24.7$ cm), ear length (QN3, $9.4{\pm}3.0$ cm), kernel setting length (QN4, $8.4{\pm}2.6$ cm), ear thickness (QN5, $24.9{\pm}7.7$ mm), ear row number (QN6, $14.0{\pm}2.3$ number), ear weight (QN7, $36.5{\pm}26.0$ g), kernel weight (QN8, $30.9{\pm}19.3$ g), 100 kernel weight (QN9, $10.4{\pm}3.8$ g) and germination rate (QN10, $95.3{\pm}8.1%$), respectively. As a result, 5 inbred lines (PS0-001, PS0-003, PS1-002, PS1-003, PS2-009) in the 79 popcorn inbred lines have showed comparatively high values for the five quantitative traits. On the principal component analysis, silk color (QL2), ear length (QN3), kernel setting length (QN4), ear thickness (QN5), ear weight (QN7), kernel weight (QN8) and 100 kernel weight (QN9) greatly contributed in positive direction on the first principal components, whereas tassel color (QL1), stem color (QL3), ear height (QN2) and ear row number (QN6) contributed in negative direction on the first principal component. In addition, plant height (QN1), ear height (QN2), and kernel weight (QN8) contributed in positive direction on the second principal component, and also tassel color (QL1), silk color (QL2), ear length (QN3), ear row number (QN6) and 100 kernel weight (QN9) contributed in negative direction on the second principal component.

  • Knowledge of genetic diversity and genetic relationships among inbred lines gives a significant impact on the selection of parental lines for hybrid maize varieties. Genetic diversity and genetic relationships among 86 popcorn inbred lines were analyzed using 50 SSR markers distributed over the whole genome. A total of 256 alleles were identified at all the SSR loci with an average of 5.1 and a range between two and sixteen per locus. The gene diversity values varied from 0.21 to 0.831 with an average of 0.579. The cluster tree generated using the described SSR markers recognized three major groups at 35.8% genetic similarity. Groups I, II, III respectively included 40, 39 and 7 inbred lines. The present study indicates that the SSR markers chosen for this analysis are effective for the assessment of genetic diversity and genetic relationships among 86 popcorn inbred lines in Korea.
