Some observations on morphological characters.

1. Midget: Associated with seed size. Ears of heterozygous mi selfed or backcrossed to mi show variation in seed size. Larger seeds gave mostly normal plants and smaller seeds mostly midget.

2. Tassel‑seed 6. Glumes on the cobs of Ts₆ plants are longer than on the normals,and often bifurcated. The glumes of ts₁ ts₂ Ts₃ ts₄ and Ts₅ appear normal.

3. A recessive character found in one of the translocation lines has ears like silky 1 (Fraser) and is completely male-sterile with short abortive silks in the tassel. It does not appear to be associated with the translocation.
