Maize (Zea mays L) is one of the important food ingredients that has great potential and is a leading commodity. Pulut and purple corn have their own advantages in the content of amylopectin and anthocyanin. Seeing the advantages of the two varieties, there is the potential for further development which is to assemble hybrid varieties by crossing them. The crossing method used is the reciprocal method. Then the observations were analyzed using the chi-square test for qualitative characters. While the heritability was calculated to test the quantitative characters and the selection index was also calculated. Inheritance of phenotypic characters of F2 generation seeds resulting from crossbreeding of purple and white corn (Zea mays L.) reciprocal plants does not show a pattern of segregation. The heritability value of F2 generation is high in Pulut x Purple crossing based on grain length, grain thickness and anthocyanin characters. While the value of heritability of generation F2 is relatively high in Purple x Pulut crosses based on grain thickness, amylopectin and anthocyanin characters. Pulut x Ungu corn selection results from reciprocal crossing have a selection index range of 1.40-2.67. While the Purple x Pulut corn from reciprocating crosses has a range selection index of 0.85-1.19.
