Molecular genetic basis of pod corn (Tunicate maize).

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 1 May 2012

Abstract excerpt

Pod corn is a classic morphological mutant of maize in which the mature kernels of the cob are covered by glumes, in contrast to generally grown maize varieties in which kernels are naked. Pod corn, known since pre-Columbian times, is the result of a dominant gain-of-function mutation at the Tuni...
