Abstract
To get abundant germplasm for developing new waxy corn varieties, pericarp thickness was measured and other factors were evaluated with a total of 142 Korean local waxy corn lines collected from various parts of Busan City and Gyungnam Province. The average pericarp thickness of Korean local waxy corn lines collected was $40.61{\mu}m$ and the rate of thin pericarp under $50{\mu}m$ was 70.4%. The pericarp thickness compared by the regions collected showed non significant difference, but which compared by the ear row number per ear showed significant difference $(MS=597.52^*)$. Correlation between pericarp thickness and row numbers per ear was low (-0.93).
