Allelism testing of spotted seedling leaf stocks in Maize COOP phenotype only collection

— Jackson, JD; Harper, C

This report summarizes allele testing of spotted seedling leaf stocks characterized by phenotype only in the Maize Genetics COOP Stock Center collection. These mutants have all been found in Neuffer EMS-treated material. Crosses were made as follows: (+/spt*) × (+/spt1) and (+/spt*) × (+/spt2) or (+/spt1) × (+/spt*) and (+/spt2) × (+/spt*). Ears were shelled and planted in sand benches to score seedlings for the appropriate phenotypes. Proposed designations have been assigned to these new alleles and they have been placed on our stocklist. It is expected that, with further allelism testing of spotted leaf stocks characterized by phenotype only, additional alleles of characterized mutants will be discovered and placed in the main collection.
