Pistils abort, no silks. Plants female-sterile. Cob grows normally. Genetic 2005 2 coordinates determined from these recombination and map data: lg1 -29- b1 -7- sk1; gl2 -12- b1 -2- T2-3c -4- sk1; sk1 T2-3(7285); b1 -1- sk1 -1- T2-9a; see MaizeGDB ID:884227; 264298; 108061. This gene was originally curated in MaizeGDB Database and the map position was displayed on the maize bins map if feasible.
