Lazy corn is a natural mutant in the lazy1 gene (great name). My favorite of course is a transposon insertion. A CACTA transposon jumps in, inactivates the gene, plant falls down. To the extent you can actually grow corn as a hanging plant. 4/4
Figure from https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0087053 showing lazy corn hanging from a basket on the left and wild-type corn growing straight on the right. Below is a gene diagram showing transposon insertions in an exon of the lazy1 gene, and some DNA sequence gibberish below.
