Fig. 1. Principal coordinate analysis of the seven tropical maize populations based on modified Roger's distance. PC1, PC2, and PC3 are the first, second, and third principal coordinate, respectively. Heterotic Group A (Pop21, Pop22, and Pool24), Heterotic Group B (Pop25, Pop32), and populations not yet assigned to heterotic groups (Pop29, Pop43) are shown.

Fig. 2. Principal coordinate analysis of individuals from seven tropical maize populations based on modified Roger's distance. PC1 and PC2 are the first and second principal coordinate, respectively. Heterotic Group A (Pop21, Pop22, and Pool24, open squares), Heterotic Group B (Pop25, filled triangles; Pop32, open triangles), and populations not yet assigned to heterotic groups (Pop29, open diamonds; Pop43, filled diamonds) are shown.

Fig. 3. Relationship between squared Roger's distance (MRD2) and panmictic midparent heterosis (PMPH) for grain yield, plant height, and days to silking. Intrapool crosses within Heterotic Group A (filled squares) and Group B (filled triangles), interpool crosses between A and B (*), and miscellaneous (open diamonds) are shown. 1 = Pool24, 2 = Pop21, 3 = Pop22, 4 = Pop25, 5 = Pop29, 6 = Pop32, 7 = Pop43; r is the correlation coefficient and b the slope coefficient.
