ABSTRACT:
The use of alien chromosomes from Tripsacum to mask the expression of undesirable recessive traits in the production of hybrid corn seed is disclosed. When an alien addition monosome is used as a parent in a hybrid cross, the low transmission rate of the alien chromosome results in the expression of desirable traits in the progeny which were masked with the undesirable traits.
