Reciprocal recurrent selection (RRS) in maize (Zea mays L.) is used to develop populations with superior combining ability, and it is usually assumed that these populations must be genetically distinct for RRS to be effective. Starting from two randomly derived subpopulations, GG(A) and GG(B), of the open-pollinated maize population 'Golden Glow' (GGCO), we conducted six cycles of full-sib RRS for grain yield and moisture. Our objectives were to (i) document selection response; (ii) evaluat...
