Phenotypical Expression of Maize Seedlings from Lines with the “Tallos Gemelos” Trait

Table 1

Frequency and number of lines with the “tallos gemelos” trait, percentage of emerged seedlings grown in a greenhouse.

Emergence (%)	Lines		Group of lines

HFG = high frequency group, selected for high frequency of “tallos gemelos” seedlings (>46%); LFG = low frequency group, selected for low frequency of seedling with twin stalks (<45.5%).
