maize mutant phenotypes

etched etched kernel; virescent seedling: Ear with colored aleurone shows pitted and scarred et1 kernels; plastid membranes altered.

etched Virescent: plastid membranes altered; two virescent seedlings from etched et1 kernels and one normal seedling.

etched Selfed, colored ACRPr M2 origin ear, segregating for et*-N367A, showing network of colorless indentations; near one to one segregation and two levels of expression on self, suggest 2N mutant dominance in 3N endosperm.

etched Selfed colored ACR et*-N586A, M2 origin ear segregating for mutant kernels with network of colorless pits and crevices

etched Selfed colored mottled and colorless (R1r1)flinty M2 ear segregating for small et*-N876A kernels, showing extreme pitting and scarring, especially evident on colored kernels; et kernels produce small green seedlings.
