A recently discovered albino seedling mutant in maize
2010
A lethal albino seedling mutant of maize that is resistant to imazethapyr was
found in the material from the Maize Research Institute, Zemun Polje, gene
bank, The mutation was characterized by a normal development of the first two
leaves, with white coloration appearing from the third to the fifth leaves,
at the base of the leaves spreading towards their end, resulting in the death
of the whole plant. While the upper leaves were dying, the first two were
still green for eight to ten days. It seemed that the mutation was
conditioned by one recessive allele.
