Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Screening recovered 198 exceptional kernels with somatic instability among 200,000 kernels.
- Observation Four alleles showed variegated phenotypes in F(2) and later generations.
- Mechanism Genetic analysis attributed O2 somatic instability to Ds near or within O2.
- Observation Without Ac, O2-m1, O2-m3 and O2-m4 kernels resembled wild type.
- Observation Without Ac, o2-m2 kernels resembled recessive o2 mutants.
- Observation With Ac, o2-m2 reverted somatically, producing vitreous spots in an o2 background.
