Ds Nonbreaking site Ear showing b1-m (Ds loss) dots and P1-vv (Ac loss) red sectors. Ear from self of an Ac/-, b1-m Ds-2S3/b r r plant showing 8/44 colorless kernels with many colored dots (b to B revertants). These are probably the b-m/b-m/b-m and b-m/b-m/b kernels with one Ac. A few have one to three dots, probably b-m/-/- with two to three doses of Ac. The remaining kernels are colorless, either because they have no Ac or 3-dose Ac or only non-responding b alleles.
