Drought is a major factor limiting maize (Zea mays L.) yield in much of the world. The need to breed maize cultivars with improved drought tolerance is apparent. This study compared two maize populations, ZM601 and ZM607 for drought tolerance during flowering, the most drought-vulnerable period for the maize plant. Cultivar ZM601 had been improved through recurrent selection for two cycles for drought tolerance at flowering plus one cycle under rainfed ("random") drought stress, while ZM607 had been improved for high yield for three cycles under favorable growing conditions. A set of 143 random S1 lines from ZM601 was compared with 94 from ZM607 at two drought stressed and one well-watered environment for yield and secondary traits. The res...
