Abstract

White pollen in corn (in contrast to normal yellow) is determined by the double recessive condition for the anthocyanin factor c2 with a newly discovered factor, whp. The pigmentation is determined by the genotype of the sporophyte bearing the pollen rather than by the genotype of the pollen grain itself. Pollinations made with white pollen have been unsuccessful. Deposition of flavonoids in the pollen grain appears to be essential to normal pollen function.
