Students in the
computer lab.
Choosing photos of
mutants and researching
the background information
Knotted1, Kn1
QuickTime™ and a
TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
This mutant corn goes by the name of knotted.

• Localized proliferation
of tissue at vascular
bundles on leaf gives it
a knotted appearance.
• The homozygotes are
more extreme.

Tassel seed5 (Ts5)
QuickTime™ and a
TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
This mutation is called Tassel seed5 (Ts5). It causes seeds/kernels to
form in the tassel. Secondary florets can develop in the ears.

R1-mb
QuickTime™ and a
TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
R1-marbled: R1-mb controls kernel & plant color.
R1
regulates genes coding for enzymes of anthocyanin biosynthesis.
The r1 region can be a complex locus.

This corn mutant is called
nana plant1 (na1).

striate5 (sr5)
striate5 (sr5): This mutant has white stripes on the leaves
and conditions chloroplast defects.
