Description Yellowish brown aleurone color. Dominant Bn1, pale yellowish brown aleurone color, identifiable in combination with colorless endosperm and non-purple and non-red aleurone, otherwise distinguished by microscopic examination of sectioned aleurone tissue. The caryopsis is pale yellow and easier to distinguish when the character is combined with floury or waxy endosperm, the tint of yellow being dependent upon the texture of the endosperm. Under the microscope, pigment in aleurone grains appears brownish or yellowish when viewed with reduced, reflected light. Bn and pale yellow are identical characters. The brown or pale yellow pigment of the aleurone differs from the strong yellow of the endosperm, not only in color, but also solubility in a number of solvents including boiling water. Genetic 2005 7 coordinates determined from these recombination and map data: v5 -13- ra1 -14- bn1; v5 -7- gl1 -20- bn1; see MaizeGDB ID:935479; 935478. This gene was originally curated in MaizeGDB Database and the map position was displayed on the maize bins map if feasible.
