Figure 6

Phenotype of vp5-d1 double mutant kernels. A, Mature ears segregating for vp5. Mutant kernels (white) are viviparous in a normal D1 background (ear at left), but quiescent in a d1 (dwarf) background (ear at right). The ear from the dwarf plant shows partial conversion to tassel. B, Germination of vp5-d1 double mutant quiescent kernels from a segregating ear. After 10 months of dry storage, double mutant kernels germinate into white seedlings (left) that grow more slowly than their Vp5-d1 siblings (green seedling at right). vp5 seeds from D1 ears do not germinate when imbibed (not shown).
