Shull's idea of producing and maintaining otherwise useless inbred strains of maize solely for the purpose of utilizing the increased vigor and uniformity resulting from their hybridization was revolutionary as a method of corn breeding.
Shull was to begin in March, 1906, was to return to Cold Spring Harbor to carry on his own work from June through September, and then return to Santa Rosa to collaborate with Luther Burbank as long as necessary.
The Shull Papers, in addition to the manuscript of the 1906 report, contain newspaper and magazine clippings and handwritten notes by Shull, arranged genus by genus, all relating to Burbank's extensive collections of wild species and varieties of plants and his hybridizations.

Shull, Clifford G. American physicist who was corecipient of the 1994 Nobel Prize for Physics for his development of neutron-scattering techniques—in particular, neutron diffraction, a process that enabled scientists to better explore the atomic structure of matter.
Known to millions of fans as The Quiet Beatle, George Harrison rose to international prominence as one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century.
U.S. physicist Clifford Shull won the 1994 Nobel prize in physics for developing a technique known as neutron scattering, in which a nuclear reactor is used to determine the location of atoms within a substance.

Shull also recognized that it was almost impossible for a corn plant to self-fertilize, given the lightness of the pollen shed by the male flowers and the location of the female flowers halfway down the stem.
Shull argued that a policy of simple selection for the best individuals would not be effective, because the value of the resulting strains differed not only in their pure state but also in their various hybrid combinations.
George Shull was not trained at an agricultural institution nor did he ever work at one; but his early experience of Mendelism brought him close to horticultural and agricultural researchers and to involvement with practical issues.

 Nat' Academies Press, Mendel in the Kitchen: Scientist's View of Genetically Modified Food (2004)
Davenport gave Shull, a former student of his, two tasks: to explain the science behind Burbank’s successful hybridizations, and to prepare a demonstration, using corn, of the simple inheritance patterns that Mendel had noticed in peas.
To cross two corn varieties, Shull plucked off the tassels of one variety, letting the other provide the pollen to fertilize the female flowers; he was thus assured that any ears resulted from a cross between the two.
When Shull took these heterozygous kernels, grew them, and crossed them with a plant that had the same sugary allele from both parents (and so was homozygous, from the Greek for “the same” and “yolk”), half of the kernels on each ear were round and half were wrinkled.
