Abstract  

Four morphological sex-related mutants in maize (Zea mays L.) are described. Three have arisen in materials containing transposons and one (Mn::Uq) is known to be segregating with a transposon. The Mn::Uq and the RSS affect pollen activity, fw affects tassel silking, and ba4 lacks ear initials. These mutants have been studied by genetic means, and some interactions between double mutants have been investigated.
