Allelism testing of miscellaneous stocks in Maize COOP phenotype only collection

--Jackson, JD

 

          This report summarizes allele testing of miscellaneous stocks characterized by phenotype only in the Maize Genetics COOP Stock Center collection. These particular mutants were sent in by M. G. Neuffer.  If possible, crosses were made between known heterozygotes and homozygous plants.  Plants were scored at the seedling stage and again at maturity.  Ears were scored at maturity.  Proposed new designations have been assigned to these alleles.  These stocks have been increased and placed on our stocklist.  It is expected that with further sorting and allelism testing of mutations characterized by phenotype only, additional alleles of characterized mutants will be discovered and placed in the main collection.
