Genetic dissection of Ts5. a Analysis of ts2;Ts5 double mutants in the A188 background and their effect on feminized spike length over spike length (FSL/SL). Photos are of mature tassels showing feminization, silks, and kernels in genotypes in which they are formed. In graph, measurements of individual plants (double homozygous mutants (n = 3), ts2:Ts5/+ (n = 6), ts2/+ ;Ts5 (n = 5), ts2:+/+ (n = 4), ts2/+;Ts5/+ (n = 5), + /+; Ts5/− (n = 8), and wild type (+/−;+/+ ) (n = 6)) are shown. Boxes for genetic classes with completely feminized tassels are orange. These classes were not significantly different (ns) by one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison test, P < 0.05. For ts2;+/+ vs ts2/+; Ts5, q = 3.26787, multiplicity-adjusted P = 0.3376, 95% CI = −0.105368 to 0.575774, for ts2; + / + vs. ts2; Ts5/+ , q = 1.60441, multiplicity adjusted P = 0.9314, 95% CI = −0.456047 to 0.225095, for ts2; + / + vs. ts2; Ts5, q = 0.825390, multiplicity adjusted P = 0.9977, 95% CI = −0.473261 to 0.332678. Dashes represent pooled classes wherein the allele may be mutant or wild type at the locus. Bars, mean; whiskers, SD. b Unpollinated ears and mature tassels of sk1;Ts5 double mutants in the Mo17 background. White arrowheads indicate elongated ear shanks. c A model for the actions of known gene products of the maize JA pathway.
