4. Zebra striped. Emerson et al list five cases of zebra striping that have been reported. There are two types, one that is expressed in the seedling stage and which may completely disappear in partly grown plants. The type reported here was obtained from an inbred line of Del Maiz sweet corn furnished by J. D. Barnard of the Minnesota Valley Canning Company. The season in 1936 was very hot and dry. Germination of sugary seeds was much lower than normal. Zebra striping could not be classified until late summer when the weather was cooler. Classification was difficult in some cultures. The results given in the summary indicate zb6 is located in group 4.

| Zb Su1 | CS | 4227 | 259 | 175 | 361 | 5022 | 13.3 |
The order of the genes appears to be Su1 - zb6 - Tu - gl3.
