520 _aPlant genetic diversity is a key component of any agricultural ecosystem. Ex situ conservation, as conducted in germplasm banks, botanical gardens, and breeding programs is the main method of conserving genetic resources for agriculture worldwide (Evenson et al.1998). The genetic resources of maize (Zea mays L.) from Latin America have been intensively studied. Grain texture js an important discriminatory trait (Gutierrez et al. 2003). Goodman (1976) proposed that the importance of grain texture is due to the characteristics of the domestication of maize. American Indians used popcorn, f1int, floury, and dent maize for different purposes and maintained them in isolation. From an evolutionary and a breeding perspective, it is of interest to find the traits that might be associated with texture. The objective was to test the association between grain texture and other relevant traits in South American maize germplasm collections to eluddate the role of grain texture in dassifying maize genetic resources.
