Journal Article
The maize Ga1-s allele confers protection against ga1 pollen in popcorn and dent corn
2022
Overview
Because corn pollen can be carried great distances by wind, maintaining genetic purity of corn grain is challenging. The challenge is substantially reduced in popcorn, which carries the
Ga1-s
allele preventing pollination by
ga1
plants, which include the vast majority of non-popcorn commercial maize varieties in the U.S..
Ga1-s
can be transferred into dent corn but the effectiveness of the
Ga1-s
allele in popcorn and dent corn has never been compared, which is important because each are regulated differently regarding GMO contamination. We compared pollen exclusion of commercial popcorn hybrids,
Ga1-s
dent corn hybrids and normal dent corn hybrids for their ability to exclude
ga1
pollen using a sensitive field-based assay. While both popcorn and
Ga1-s
dent corn had significantly better pollen exclusion than normal dent corn, popcorn was significantly better than
Ga1
-s dent corn on average. Some
Ga1-s dent
hybrids excluded as well or better than some popcorn lines suggesting that identification of hybrids comparable to popcorn is possible. The information in this study will support revised gene purity regulations potentially decreasing costs and increasing genetic purity of organic corn.
