Genome size and numerical polymorphism for the B chromosome in races of maize (Zea mays ssp. mays, Poaceae)

Twenty-one native populations (1120 individuals) of maize from Northern Argentina were studied. These populations, which belong to 13 native races were cultivated at different altitudes (80-3620 m). Nineteen of the populations analyzed showed B chromosome (Bs) numerical, polymorphism. The frequency...
