Abstract excerpt
Iojap (ij) is a recessive striped mutant of maize affecting the development of plastids in a local and position-dependent manner on the leaves. The ij-affected plastids are transmitted to some of the progeny even when the function of the nuclear gene is restored. Developmental defects during embryogenesis and leaf proliferation are other phenotypic characteristics of ij. The extent of striping and the degree of...
