Abstract
Previous studies have shown that sugary (su1) maize endosperms or kernels contain about twice as much niacin as those of the normal starchy (Su1) allele (1-3). The data in this paper show that the higher niacin has a morphological basis in that sugary kernels have more niacin-rich aleurone tissue than starchy. This finding makes suggested biochemical explanations (4-5) of the carbohydrate-niacin differences unnecessary.
