maize mutant phenotypes

Virescent Streaks Original Vsk*-N2595/+ chimeric mutant plant showing a broad 1/2 leaf, (including sheath) white longitudinal sector from top to bottom of plant. Seedling began with a half white chimera with pale green streaks which then bleached to white as maturity approached; as seen in photo. Changes may be the result of abrupt weather changes.

Virescent Streaks 8th leaf of original Vsk*-N2595/+ heterozygous chimeric mutant plant showing 1/2 leaf sector of white tissue with pale green streaks; these later bleached out to near white as the plant matured.

Virescent Streaks A Vsk*-N2595/+ heterozygous mutant plant from a cross on B73/A619 showing pale green mutant plant with a few narrow longitudinal white stripes, especially on older leaves. Emerged as a white seedling. Leaf tissue greens up like a virescent under certain environmental conditions and stages and bleaches out under others,
