maize mutant phenotypes

necrotic watery tan: Mature leaf section of a surviving nec*-N193 M2 mutant plant showing longitudinal streaks of white dry necrotic tissue. Under ideal conditions seedling grows to a moderately healthy green plant with many long white necrotic streaks and lesions. See tan necrotic seedling.

necrotic A nec*-N193, F2 mutant seedling, showing tan colored necrosis advancing down each leaf, also with drop of dark brown exudate at the leaf tip. Under ideal conditions seedling grows to a moderately healthy green plant with many long white necrotic streaks and lesions. See surviving mature plant with white necrotic streaks.

necrotic Tightly rolled tan colored necrotic, nec1-N669, seedling that emerges with first 2 leaves tightly rolled, remains so; wilts and dies.

necrotic yellow green necrotic; chimera: 8th leaf of a mature necrotic nec4-N516B mutant plant showing speckled pale green necrotic tissue and a normal dark green sector. This plant survived because of sufficient normal tissue supporting the mutant deficiency.

necrotic Two nec*-N200B F2 mutant seedlings showing necrotic crossbands on first and second leaves, causing leaf distortion.

necrotic Segregating progeny of nec2, bright olive green lethal necrotic and normal seedlings.
