FIGURE 1.

Illustration of how the genotypes from each of the eight families were used to obtain random and representative samples. Family GM 5619 had 23 and 15 genotypes producing wildtype and waxy starch, respectively. Eight waxy and eight wild-type genotypes were randomly chosen and allocated into three sets (3+3+2 = 8 genotypes). Each set was then replicated four times. The waxy and wildtype starch genotypes from the other seven families were similarly distributed for a total of 30 plants in each plot.
