Mutation - YY-->Yy. Verification of this one-kernel mutant from over 7200 kernels reported in 1940 News Letter. This white was tested against the y gene in Evergreen sweet corn, in a white dent inbred and in Hickory King. All progeny were white, indicating that this mutant involved the standard Y gene.
