The closest USNAM parents to EUNAM-Dent are the temperate US Dents, including B73, B97, Oh7B, Ky21, and MS71, while the nearest US inbreds to CNNAM parents are South African inbreds M162W, M37W, and the Texas US line, Tx303. All of these are more proximal to the tropical Mexican landraces. The EUNAM-Flint recurrent parent, the Iodent/Iowa Stiff Stalk Synthetic EUNAM-Dent line UH007, clusters with the majority of the EUNAM-Flint parents. The Spanish lines EP44, EZ5, and the French line F64 are the most tropically associated lines in the EUNAM-Dent population.
