maize mutant phenotypes

collapsed colorless, normal colored navaho spot, defective kernel The original selfed colored purple aleurone ACRPr M1 ear from ethyl methanesulfonate pollen treatment, showing independent M2 segregation for collapsed kernel dek17-N330D, and pale aleurone anl1-N330C. Note some dek17 kernels have navajo type patches of normal tissue often around the silk attachment. Both mutants fail to germinate.
