maize mutant phenotypes

Dt receptor at A1 Dt transposon receptor at A1; two allelic insertions: Kernel on left is, a1 a1 a-m, Dt Dt Dt (1 dose of a-m and 3 doses of Dt in the 3N aleurone) and shows frequent dots of varying size (stage of occurrence) and intensity (level of function of each reversion). Compare to kernel on right with substituted original a1 in same cross showing only few dots of similar size and strong intensity and rare frequency characteristic of that allele.

Dt receptor at A1 Dt transposon receptor; two allelic insertions: Kernel on left is, a-s a-s a-m, dt dt Dt (1 dose of each unit in the 3N aleurone) and shows frequent dots of varying size (stage of occurrence) and intensity (level of function of each reversion. Compare to kernel on left with substituted original a1 in same cross showing only 2 dots of similar size and strong intensity and rare frequency characteristic of that allele.
