maize mutant phenotypes

Virescent A four leaf V*-N2621/+ heterozygous mutant seedling from a cross on Mo17,A632/W23 showing a green base and white emerging leaves typical of virescent but dominant. Note damaged green tissue caused by field infestation of flee beetle.

virescent First two leaves of two, v27-413C mutant seedlings (left) from progeny of M2 origin ear showing variations in greening along midvein

virescent Very pale green v28-697 (v*-N697) mutant seedlings from a segregating F2 progeny showing uniform faint slow greening

virescent First two leaves (left) of pale green v*-41B M2 mutant seedling showing progressive greening in longitudinal green streaks from base up.

virescent Three greenish white v21-N25 F2 mutant seedlings showing progressive greening from leaf tip and along leaf margins.

virescent First two leaves (left) of a v*-N116 M2 virescent mutant seedling , showing slow greening in diurnal pattern of first leaf and in streaks from tip on second leaf

virescent Nearly white v*-N165A mutant seedlings from a segregating F2 progeny showing slight greening of first leaf, especially at tip.

virescent First two leaves of a v29-N418, (v*-N418) M2 virescent mutant seedling(left) showing rapid greening in grainy streaks.

virescent First two leaves of a yellowish white v*-N27 M2 mutant seedling showing progressive uniform greening of first and tip of the 2nd leaf.

virescent First two leaves (left) of v*-N517, virescent mutant seedling from progeny of M2 origin ear showing greening from base up and on leaf tip.

virescent First 2 leaves (right)of a v*-N29 M2 mutant seedling showing streaked greening at tip and along middle of 1st leaf and along midrib of 2nd leaf.

virescent First 2 leaves (right) of a pale green v*-N13 F2 mutant seedling showing progressive greening along leaf veins beginning with the first leaf.

virescent Two pale green v25-N17, F2 mutant seedlings showing white tips with apparent slow greening from base up which actually reflects cold temperature at emergence followed by much higher thereafter.

virescent Two grainy pale green v*-N19, F2 mutant seedlings showing greening in tiny darker green streaks distributed over leaf.

virescent pale yellowgreen, v2 (left) seedling which greens slowly; low temperature accentuates phenotype. Mature mutants are lighter green and smaller than normal.

virescent yellowish white, v1 (left) mutant seedling, greens rapidly; slowly at low temperature. Typically green first leaf, green top 1/3 second leaf and green tip of third leaf with each succeeding leaf appearing in the whorl as white or lighter green and darkening as is exposed to sunlight and probable higher. Mutant plants nearly normal green and slightly smaller than normal at maturity
