Resumen
In this work we studied six populations belonging to two races of maize native of northwestern Argentina (NOA) in order to analyze the variation respect to the number of heterochromatic blocks (knobs), using fluorescent banding techniques (DAPI banding). Cámara Hernández et al., 2011 (Razas de maíz nativas de la Argentina. Ed. Facultad de Agronomía, 168pp.) identified and described 28 native maize races from NOA. Two of these races, Amarillo Grande and Garrapata, differ by their morphological maize ears and grains, and grow at different altitudes in the provinces of Jujuy and Salta (Argentina).
