Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the inheritance of a startling deviation in corn: the ramose inflorescence, where the simple female inflorescence is replaced by a branched structure resembling the male inflorescence. The author, through extensive hybridization experiments, uncovers the complexities of this trait, revealing that it behaves as a unit in inheritance while being subject to modification by other factors. The study provides a unique opportunity to measure the effect of hybridization on Mendelian characters, offering insights into the evolution of the maize ear and the differentiation of sexes in corn. The book's detailed measurements and analysis provide a valuable resource for researchers and enthusiasts alike, shedding light on the intricate genetic mechanisms underlying plant development and the origins of one of the world's most important crops.
