Random Mating before Selfing in Maize BC^sub 1^ Populations

In maize (Zea mays L.) inbred development programs, F^sub 2^ and BC^sub 1^ populations between two inbreds are usually not random-mated before selfing. Previous results suggest random mating is not useful in F^sub 2^ populations. A one-locus model, however, suggests random mating increases the genet...
