Phenotypes of maize and teosinte. (A) Schematic drawings of teosinte and maize plants showing differences in plant architecture. Female inflorescences (ears) are yellow and male inflorescences (tassels) are blue. (B) Schematic drawings of longitudinal cross sections through a teosinte ear (left) and expectation for a modified teosinte ear carrying maize alleles at tga1, tb1, and etb1.2 (right). Glumes are gray, rachis (internodes) are black, grains are yellow, and nodes (abscission layers) are red.
