Trivia Contest Winner!

Thanks for everyone who has or who was planning to attempt the Trivia contest posted last Friday, but there has already been a winner. Yesterday Don Smallwood provided a correct response with a submission which included the following:

"...Isolation is most critical with cultivars that contain the sh2 gene. If they are pollinated by other gene types (su, se, field corn or Indian corn), they will revert to field corn with high starch and low sugar. Cultivars containing the se gene that are pollinated by normal su cultivars don’t revert back to field corn, but their sugar levels will decline to normal su type levels."

additional clarification: in the case of outcrossed se vs. sh2 as in the trivia question both varieties will suffer a loss of sweetness.

The key to the question was knowing that there was a reversion to starchy and using the internet to determine the gene type of the two cultivars mentioned in the question.
