maize mutant phenotypes

collapsed opaque kernel Two colorless flinty selfed ears segregating for, cp*-N931, (dek18). Top, mature ear showing collapsed floury mutant kernels. Bottom, immature ear (17 days) showing small mutant kernels with translucent endosperms.

collapsed opaque kernel excised immature dek18-N931A mutant embryos cultured on normal kernel extract, basal, enriched, or ammonia free enriched media showing green amorphous callus tissue on all media and a few roots and primitive shoots on ammonia free enriched medium.

collapsed opaque kernel Selfed yellow flint ear segregating for variably collapsed and opaque cpo*-N627D dek6 mutant kernels. Weakly green seedling viable in embryo culture.
