Excerpt from A Brachytic Variation in Maize
A fourth independent origin of this same peculiar variation is reported by East and Hays who found it in a commercial strain of the Stowell's Evergreen variety of sweet corn. While the dwarf found by Emerson and that of East and Hays have not been com~ pared by crossing, there can be little doubt that the three variations involve a Similar genetic change; Emerson (7) also records the origin and inheritance of still another type of dwarf which, in addition to reduced stature, produces most of the seeds In the terminal inflorescence. This variation has been designated tassel ear.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores a rare genetic variation in maize (corn), known as brachysm, which results in unusually short internodes and a compact plant structure. The author traces the history of brachysm in maize, highlighting its first discovery in a Chinese variety and subsequent appearances in hybrids with other maize types. The book delves into the morphological and agricultural implications of brachysm, examining how it affects plant height, root production, and yield potential. The author analyzes the inheritance patterns of brachysm and discusses its association with other plant traits, such as staminate spike formation on ears. The author argues that brachysm offers potential advantages for agriculture, particularly in dry land and irrigated regions where reduced plant height and increased root production can enhance crop performance. The book explores the challenges and opportunities in combining brachysm with high-yielding commercial maize varieties through hybridization. Ultimately, the book contributes to our understanding of the genetic diversity and phenotypic plasticity of maize, providing valuable insights for plant breeders and geneticists seeking to improve crop traits for sustainable agriculture.
