| Duplicate factors orp1 and orp2 give 15:1 ratio of normal vs orange color in overlaying maternal pericarp on homozygous orp1, orp2 kernels from selfed double heterozygous ear. Mutant orp kernels produce weak, narrow leaf, brownish palegreen seedlings with spots, barren nodes and odor of phenol. | Duplicate factors orp1 and orp2 give 15:1 ratio of normal vs orange color in overlaying maternal pericarp on homozygous orp1, orp2 kernels from selfed double heterozygous ear. Mutant orp kernels produce weak, narrow leaf, brownish palegreen seedlings with spots, barren nodes and odor of phenol. The orange pericarp duplicate factor mutants present a unique demonstration of the great amount of phenotypic variation that can occurr as the consequence of one or two genetic changes; the production of orange pigment in the pericarp (maternal tissue) that segregate with the kernel (filial tissue) which produce germinating kernels whose roots and shoots flouresce blue under uv light and which produce sickly brownish green mutant seedlings that are morphologically altered and smell like indole. In addition these factors provide excellent demonstration of duplicate factor behavior and linkage and altered genetic transmission in the corn plant. |

| kernel: Colored colorless (segregating for c1 and r1) flint selfed M2 origin ear segregating (15:1)for orange color in overlaying maternal pericarp on homozygous orp1, orp2 filial endosperm kernels. Note chip of orange pericarp removed from mutant kernel in lower left. Also note that orp1 (though not visible) was already in the ear stock for treated pollen and that orp2 was induced by EMS mutagenesis. | Two selfed ears showing 15:1 duplicate factor ratios. Top, colored colorless B1:Peru/b1 (chromosome 2S) and R1-scm/r1 (chromosome 10S). Bottom, colorless and orange pericarp (+/orp1, chromosome 4S) and +/orp2 (chromosome 10S). A good demonstration of duplicate factor ratios. Note that pericarp is a maternal tissue and should have a clear normal phenotype reflecting a +/orp1, +/orp2 maternal genotype as a clear uniform cover over all the filleal kernels beneath, one in 16 of which will be genetically orange (orp1/orp1, orp2/orp2) but unable to express the orange pigment. The pericarp over the double mutant turns orange because the double mutant endosperm secrets phenol which diffuses into the surface maternal tissue and interacts there to produce the bright orange pigment. For another example See orp*-N888D. |
