Abstract:

Our study envisaged a characterization of a germplasm fund represented by ten local sweet corn populations originated from different regions of Romania. The study had as main objectives: (a) - morphological assessment for detection of interest traits to be exploited in wet and cold lands condition in Romania and (b) - identification of useful resources for improving production capacity, the precocity, resistance to low temperatures, resistance to breaking and falling. Morphological assessment was conducted in field and laboratory condition, by phenological observations, biometrical measurements and determinations, in order to detect the most valuable material to be used in breeding. Our study presents some morphological items of “Dulce de Bacau”, a genotype created at Vegetable Research and Development Station Bacau. The genotype is distinguished by its yield capacity and its suitability to our climate condition
