maize mutant phenotypes

This is an old revision of the document!

sugary Wrinkled transluscent kernel with slightly less than normal size and vigor.

sugary Sugary kernel: A yellow dent selfed ear segregating for translucent slightly wrinkled su2 kernels

sugary sugary endosperm: selfed ear segregating for su1 and homozygous y1 (white). Endosperm wrinkled and translucent when dry; sweet at milk stage. Mature kernel collapsed, angular, often translucent and brittle

sugary Colorless flinty M2 origin ear segregating for su1-896A, sugary-type mutant kernel showing a wrinkled surface and a translucent texture.

sugary sugary kernel; multi-gene interaction: Selfed ear segregating for multiple aleurone and endosperm genes: pr1 (red/purple), R1 (solid anthocyanin/mottled/colorless), su1 (sugary/normal), y1 (white/yellow endosperm), sh1 (shrunken/normal kernel), and wx1 (waxy/normal), in an intense, in1, purple popcorn background. A demonstration of gene dosage, gene interaction, independent assortment, and linkage; phenotypes of seven genes clearly displayed all on one ear!

sugary sugary kernel: Selfed M2 origin ear segregating for su1-N959 mutant kernels and c1 and r1 as well.
