Abstract

Of 376 Eurasian grain collections examined, 50 gave a positive grain reaction, 319 a negative reaction and five a mixed reaction; the reaction of two collections with a blackish lemma and palea could not be distinguished. The collections giving a positive reaction were more frequently from regions of comparatively low latitudes in Asia than from elsewhere and were generally of rather restricted distribution, whilst those giving a negative reaction were obtained from most regions. Genetic analysis of a cross between the positive and negative phenotypes indicated that the character is controlled by a single gene, the positive reaction being dominant
