Excerpt from Inheritance of Waxy Endosperm in Maize
While the observed percentage of waxy seeds for the 66 ears is a very close approximation to the expected percentage, we have seen that the two major groups, waxy X horny and-horny X waxy, that make up this total, differ from each other by an amount that would be expected to occur as the result of chance but once in 116 times.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, the result of years of scholarship and research, examines the hereditary nature of cereal endosperm through the lens of the inheritance of waxy endosperm, a genetic characteristic in maize, which first emerged in China. The author meticulously details the inheritance of aleurone color, another inherited trait, as it correlates to endosperm texture in a series of controlled breeding experiments. These experiments yielded critical new data on the behavior of correlated characters where the correlations are between factors, helping establish new Mendelian principles and challenging reduplication and linkage theories that had previously attempted to explain these correlations. The author painstakingly measured small differences in inheritance, effectively expanding our understanding of the genetic behavior of alternative characters and opening the door to further research into the mechanisms behind genetic inheritance.
