Abstract
Whole kernels of the double mutant combinations of brittle‐1 sugary‐1 of maize (Zea mays L.) contain about 40 and 200% of the water‐soluble polysaccharides and sucrose, respectively, of the sugary‐1 mutant alone. More important, the double mutant preserves 90% of the sucrose even up to 4 days postharvest at room temperature. These features of the double mutant may offer a desirable new high quality sweet corn with the added potential for improving post‐harvest quality.
