Examples of shrunken

• A further interesting observation on the interaction between sugars and amylase gene expression comes from the shrunken-2 (sh-2) maize mutant.

• Factors influencing early seedling vigor of shrunken-2 maize.

• Yet, they are guided by exceedingly simple instructions - note how this part looks bigger, like a fracture, shrunken, has more holes.

• Specifically, blebbing was observed in every field, and the surface between the tubercles appeared shrunken and withdrawn.

• Prominent among these endosperm mutants are sugary (su), brittle-1 (bt-1) and shrunken-2 (sh-2).

• The vitellus (v) was shrunken and the perivitelline space (pvs) was filled with spermatozoa.

• Some cells were shrunken, whereas other cells were swollen, usually in combination with rupture of the plasma membrane.

• The pericarp of sh-2 maize is often fractured due to its shrunken nature, limiting its ability to perform these functions.
