maize mutant phenotypes

crumpled floury; proline responsive crumpled floury, proline; green stripe seedling: hypoploid complementary feeding; hemizygous pro1 hypoploid seedling, from the cross +/pro1 x pro1/TB-8Lc showing complementary feeding effect of normal hyperploid endosperm. Seedling shows good vigor but still has green striped phenotype. Vigor diminished as soon as endosperm support was exhausted.

crumpled floury; proline responsive crumpled floury; proline response: Excised embryos of pro1 mutant kernels grown on agar media containing 1 micromole proline(red cap), no proline (blue cap), 3 mN proline, (right red cap), showing response to proline feeding.

crumpled floury; proline responsive crumpled floury, proline, defective seedling: Homozygous proline seedling from the cross of +/pro1 x pro1/TB-8Lc, showing typical pale green midvein stripes and reduced growth of homozygous mutant seedling grown from a kernel with a mutant endosperm. I e no endosperm feeding.
