Synopsis
Excerpt from Inheritance in Maize
The investigations reported in this paper were begun in the Spring of the year 1905. During the first four years the work was conducted at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station. Since the fall of 1909, it has been carried on both there and at the Bussey Institution of Harvard University. Strictly speaking the researches comprise more than five years' work, for several of the pure varieties used as parent stocks had been selfed for the two previous years, so that a number of crosses were made in 1905 with full assurance that as far as most of the visible characters were concerned, the parent strains were pure. There was some further advantage gained in that the' writers have been interested in experimental maize breeding since 1900, for without this experience the probable error of the results would be greatly increased.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the inheritance of characters in maize plants, based on extensive pedigree culture work. At the start of the 20th century, the author re-examined the principles of Gregor Mendel through experiments with maize and its various forms. Unlike Gregor Mendel's pea plant experiments, maize presented considerably more variables, making the analysis of the results a more complex process. Nevertheless, the author's findings supported Mendel's principles of heredity while shedding light on additional concepts relating to inheritance and genetic variation. The author discusses unit characters, allelomorphic pairs, complex characters, and the behavior of these units in heredity. Extensive data gathered from the study of various maize characters â" including starchiness, yellow endosperm, aleurone color, podded and podless maize, pericarp color, cob color, silk color, glume color, red sap color, size dimensions, number of rows, and heights of plants, among others â" is presented and analyzed to support the author's conclusions. The book also examines abnormal plant forms and provides a broader analysis of the nature of plant variation and the principles of inheritance. This book provides valuable insights into genetics, particularly for those interested in plant breeding and the history of genetics. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781334326134_0
