wth oH | The "A," State of at. Single Kernel from 7774D-4 x 7818B-4 4 eng riat" To illustrate cycles of activity of Spm in single kernel. Parent (pollen) introduced active Spm. ” One-half of “kernel Spm started*inactive;tother“half of “kernel started with, “active Spm. The half with inactive Spm is pigmented in which small colorless (=active Spm) appear. In these small colorless areas smaller pigmented spots (= inactive Spm) appear. “his sequence illustrates changes in activity of Spm from active » inactive > active » inactive. the opposite side of the kernel shows the reciprocal type of change: from colorless (active Spm) to small pigmented spots (= inactivations of Spm).
