Abstract: The plant-type traits of 56 maize hybrids and 35 inbreds of their parents were analyzed in this article. The results showed that the correlation between plant-type and yield traits of maize hybrids is rarely significant, while that between different plant-type traits of maize inbreds is commonly significant. The cluster analysis of maize inbred plant-type traits could help finding the similarity of their morphological characters, so as to reflect their genetic variations. These results have somewhat directions for maize breeding.
