Abstract
Abstract Two centrifuge techniques were used to estimate some characteristics of kernels of maize (Zea mays L.) with the genes Su, su, su-IL677a, ae du wx, bt2, and sh2. The first technique produced 4 recognizable layers which could be associated with stage of maturity; sugar, water soluble polysaccharides, and starch; and the production of smooth, wrinkled, and shrunken seed. The 2nd technique resulted in the extraction of pigments. Spectrographic analyses suggested that differences in visual perception at different stages of maturity or among genotypes were associated with differences in concentration rather than types of pigments present.
