Variability in recombination frequency was re parted in the Iowa Stiff Stalk Synthetic. The objectives of the present research were to verify the differences in recombination frequency among individuals in the Iowa Stiff Stalk Synthetic maize population and to determine if the recombination frequency differences persisted among the S-1 progeny. Testcrosses to measure male recombination frequency on three chromosomes (4, sul-c2; 5, a2-bt1-pr1; 9, sh1-bz1-wx1) were repeated for eight So individuals. Recombination frequencies were repeatably divergent among those individuals which were selected based on high or low recombination frequencies on specific chromosomes. Individuals which had been selected for long and short total map distances across the three chromosome regions produced repeatably divergent recombination frequencies only at the sul-c2 region. The recombination frequencies of the S-1 lines, derived from the S-0 individuals which had the most divergent recombination frequencies on a single chromosome, were significantly different. The broad-sense heritability estimates derived from the regression of six S-1 lines on six S-0 individuals ranged from 0.69 to 0.20 for the five chromosome regions. We conclude that genetic differences for recombination frequency exist in this population and that modification by selection should be possible.
