Yield and composition of eared and earless maize plants in a selfed line segregating barren stalks
1936
Garber, R.J. | Dustman, R.B. | Burnham, C.R.
A study was made of the weights and composition of plants and plant parts of normally eared and earless individuals in the same selfed strain of corn. "Earless" behaved as a monohybrid recessive. The stems and leaves of the earless plants weighed more and contained a higher percentage of sugars than did the stems and leaves of the eared plants. With respect to entire plants, the eared individuals weighed significantly more and contained a higher percentage of total carbohydrates and of ether extract than the earless individuals. The percentage of crude protein was somewhat greater in the earless plants.
