Show & Tell

Adult Palmetto and Visual-Het Palmetto.  This Visual-het Palmetto (so-called because it has an appearance commonly seen in het forms of mutations that are dominant to wild-type) is typical of corns that are het for Palmetto.  The overall gold coloration and reduction of melanin give it an appearance that is somewhere between the look of a wild corn and that of the Palmetto mutant.
