Annual diploid teosinte TeA (Euchlaena mexicana, 2n=20), maize inbred lines B77, Pi330 (Zea mays, 2n=20) and their progenies were used to investigate their tillering behavior and above ground fresh weight. The results are summarized as follows: Tiller number of TeA increased following by growth stage, and arrived maximum at sixty days after emergence. TeA and BC1 had more second tillering from main tiller at the seventy days after emergence. As the proportion of maize germplasm increased, then the tiller number decreased in their progenies. F1 hybrids of maize and TeA had heterosis in above ground fresh weight, and can be directly used as forage production.
