Nullisomics-Mutants of the Ear in Wheat (Triticum aestivum)



Ear shape of the wild type (WT) and of several mutants lacking single pairs of chromosomes (nullisomics). Due to hexaploidy, the lack of a pair of chromosomes is tolerated. The effects are usually different though stunted growth is mostly one of them. (E. R. SEARS, 1953)
