white_endosperm

white endosperm Endosperm white; reduced carotenoid pigments; some alleles affect chlorophyll in seedlings.
MaizeGDB reference


white endosperm Selfed yellow dent ear segregating for y1 white kernels.


white endosperm Selfed immature ear segregating for y1 (white kernels)


white endosperm 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!
