Corn colour genetics for reference

[greenstorm]

sweet, 3 will be shades of yellow and one will be white in a ratio of 1:1:1:1. Of the 3/4 that are dent, 1/3 will be homozygous dent and will breed true, but 2/3 will have a hidden sweet gene that can show up in future growouts. The color genes will follow the 1:1:1:1 ratio same as for sweet kernels.

There are 4 commonly used genes in sweet corn breeding and a few others that can be used.
se - chromosome 2 commonly called Sugar Enhanced
sh2 - chromosome 3 commonly called Shrunken 2
su - chromosome 4 commonly called Sugary
bt - chromosome 5 commonly called Brittle
du is a minor gene that can be used to enhance sweetness but is rarely used. It is on chromosome 10.
