For the next year I look for white sweet corns with high rows number.
Of course there's Stowell's Evergreen having until 20 rows by ear but does anybody know a higher rows number variety?

The zigzag arrangement of kernels in CG is due to the development of both florets in each spikelets (normally only the upper one grow) but anyway Ill probably try it next year

I know I'm late to this thread, but have you tried to introduce the zigzag arrangement into the deshybridated Mirai yet mayz?

Not mayz, but relevant to the discussion, it is very difficult to combine the se gene with the characteristics of shoepeg type kernels. This suggests there is an issue with linkage.

As an aside, American Seed sells hybrid shoe peg corn , called "Early Cogent".
Now it is called Early, 89 days , but I wonder if it is not just another version of Country Gentlemen with a different name.
I may get a pack again, just because it is out there.

Do you know of any other shoe peg corns besides country gentleman derivatives? I stumbled across something unrelated to country gentleman that was shoepeg.

The shoepeg trait has been incorporated into several breeding lines over the years. It brings a few negatives such as kernels that more easily split open as they mature. I have seen at least one company that develops commercial hybrids with the shoepeg trait.
Country Gentleman was bred from Ne Plus Ultra crossed with Stowell's Evergreen. Ars-Grin shows 11 easily found accessions with the shoepeg trait.

I think I picked it up from PI 493039, among other things I have found that were not noted by grin descriptions were liguless 2, and brown midrib, from different accessions. |
