Zeitschrift für Induktive Abstammungs-und Vererbungslehre, Vol. 6 Buchkatalog

Excerpt from Zeitschrift für Induktive Abstammungs-und Vererbungslehre, Vol. 6: Oktober 1911It is the purpose of the present paper to give the results of a study of the inheritance of certain invisible chemical characters in maize. The problem dealt with is this: Do such characters as the nitrogen content, sugar content, starch content, ash content, etc., of maize behave as unit characters, showing the Mendelian phenomena of dominance, recessiveness and segregation? If they do so behave another category of attributes of living things will have been shown to conform to Mendel's fundamental generalizations. Correns (13) in his classical memoir on maize hybridization and other workers have dealt with starchy and sugary endosperm, but not with the segregation of other chemical characters.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
