Podded and Podless Maize. The inheritance of the podded character is interesting becauseit is a shining example of a case where a gross morphologicalcharacter behaves as a simple Mendelian mono-hybrid. a podded maize was crossed with a common Learning dentlike No. 7, but not of the same stock. The Fi generation wasas perfectly podded as the podded parent. There was of coursesome variation in the length of the husks of the seeds, a varia-tion apparently physiological in character depending upon thevigor of
