Clarification of the Genetic Nature of Sugary Enhancer, an Endosperm Character in Sweet Corn
Abstract
dc:descriptionThe sugary enhancer (se) gene has been shown to double the kernel sucrose content in sugary-1 (su-1) cultivars when homozygous. Unlike other endosperm mutations, su-1 se kernels are not readily apparent in segregating populations. What is needed is a genetic marker which can readily and easily identify kernels containing se. To create a genetic marker system linked to the se gene, the chromosomal location of se in the maize (Zea mays L.) genome must first be determined.
