Abstract

Abstract The application of genetic methods to the analysis of morphogenesis in maize is described. Several classes of floral mutants are differentiated through developmental studies and tests of epistasis. The results of mosaic and dosage analysis of Kn1, a dominant mutation affecting leaf development, are related to molecular studies of the gene.
