A Fifth Pair of Factors, AA, for Aleurone Color in Maize, and Its Relation to the CC and RR Pairs...

By Rollins Adams Emerson

This work by Rollins Adams Emerson delves into the complex genetics of maize, specifically focusing on the discovery and analysis of a fifth pair of factors, designated Aa, that influence aleurone color. The study meticulously examines the relationship between this new factor pair and the previously identified Cc and Rr pairs, providing valuable insights into the genetic mechanisms governing pigmentation in maize kernels. This research is essential for plant breeders and geneticists seeking a deeper understanding of crop traits and the potential for manipulating them. The exploration of these genetic interactions contributes significantly to the broader field of plant genetics and offers a foundational understanding that remains relevant to modern agricultural research.
