Maize (Zea mays L.) ear vascular tissue transports nutrients that contribute to grain yield. To assess kernel heritabilities that govern ear development and plant growth, field studies were conducted to determine the combining abilities of parents that differed for kernel-size, grain-filling rates and shoot-size. Thirty two hybrids were derived from large (LG) and small (SM) kernel plants by inter-crossing parents that differed for shoot-size at silking [Long-Shoot (LS) and Small-Shoot (SS)]. Each hybrid was grown in replicated experiments at Fargo and Casselton stations, N.D., USA in 2002. Juvenile plant height, leaf number and mature leaf length, number and width were measured to determine leaf area per mature plant. Ear length, diameter...
