maize mutant phenotypes

collapsed flat Cross-section of 5 mature kernels, from left to right: 1) normal kernel; 2) thin collapsed mutant kernel; both from a selfed +/cpfl*-N1379A heterozygote; 3) a collapsed hypoploid mutant endosperm with normal embryo; 4) a normal embryo and endosperm; 5) a normal-appearing hyperploid endosperm with mutant hypoploid embryo; the last three from a +/cpfl*-N1379A ear crossed by pollen carrying a B-A chromosome translocation with a non-mutant allele on the translocated arm.

collapsed flat A selfed cp*-N1379A/+ mutant colored ACR ear segregating for thin collapsed mutant kernel; also for colorless c1 or r1

collapsed flat Selfed immature (21 days) ear segregating for cpfl*-N1421, small translucent mutant kernel.

collapsed flat Selfed colorless flinty M2 origin ear segregating for cpfl*-N1421, small extreme shrunken mutant kernels.
