reciprocal translocation
Normal appearing homozygous and heterozygous plants. Heterozygotes with normal have abnormal meiotic configurations with homologous pairing tying affected chromosomes together; results in 50% defective gametes (semisterile ears & pollen).

pollen: Normal appearing homozygous and heterozygous plants. Heterozygotes with normal have abnormal meiotic chromosome configurations with homologous pairing tying affected chromosomes together; results in 50% defective gametes (semisterile ears & pollen).
