Abstract excerpt
Because corn pollen can be carried great distances by wind, maintaining genetic purity of corn grain is challenging. The challenge is substantially reduced in popcorn, which carries the Ga1-s allele preventing pollination by ga1 plants, which include the vast majority of non-popcorn commercial maize varieties in the U.S.. Ga1-s can be transferred into dent corn but the effectiveness of the Ga1-s allele in popcorn...
