Shrunken (sh2) hybrids
We also can also supply: NORMAL SUGARY (su) varieties are the standard type of sweet corn. They are known for their creamy corn flavor and mild sugars. The sugars quickly convert to starch so they are best eaten soon after harvest. SUGAR ENHANCED (se) varieties that have modifier genes that increase sugars and tenderness to varying degrees. These higher sugar levels result in hybrids that maintain their quality over a longer period of time. Homozygous denotes that both parents of the hybrid are se. SYNERGISTIC sweet corns that combine the characteristics of both super sweet and sugary enhanced varieties. The kernels segregate on the ear at 3 sugary enhancer kernels to 1 super sweet. These Synergistic varieties are not recommended for long haul shippers or processors and must be isolated from super sweet varieties. SHRUNKEN TYPES (Super sweets) that contain the shrunken-2(sh2) gene and get their name from the appearance of the dried kernel. Shrunkens have a very high sugar content, as well as a slower conversion of sugar to starch. Shrunken sweet corns must be isolated from other non-shrunken corns. plus AUGMENTED SHRUNKEN sweet corns. A new generation of shrunken corn types. Like regular shrunkens, they contain the sh2 gene, but kernels of augmented shrunken are extra juicy and tender like sugary enhanced (se) varieties.
