A brief account about the present situation of the breeding in sweet-waxy corn was given.A new method of breeding sweet-waxy corn was advanced,according to which the crosses between allotypic recessive ho-mozygotes was used and it was called the cross between allotypic recessive homozygotes.The genotypes of the vari-ous genes of increasing sweet taste and gene wx can be expressed on the same ear,and the aim has been realized breeding the corn hybrids with sweet and waxy flavous fresh ears for eating.The initial results breeding sweet-waxy corn bybrids by using the method of the cross between allotypic recessive homozygotes were reported.And the devel-opmental directions of breeding sweet-waxy corn in future were discussed.
