•Basic Information
•Protein sequence
•Growth chart
•Grown up corn
•Explanation
Rld1 is a dominant trait, it causes the
plants leaves to never fully unroll.
The genetic mutation is on chromosome 9.
It is not a lethal mutation.
The Rld1 gene has been cloned.

Now that our corn grew up Mr. Bass
demonstrated to the class how to cross

We didn’t expect our corn to have silks
