Title	A spontaneous chlorophyll mutant in hexaploid wheat.

Abstract	Only a limited number of chlorophyll mutants have been obtained in hexaploid wheat, Triticum aestivum L emend Thell. This is a consequence of the duplicated genetic material which buffers deletion of genes effecting chlorophyll production. Those mutants that have been isolated and studied involve intragenic changes or deletion or two duplicate loci (Sears and Sears, 1968), Neatby's virescent, a spontaneous mutant, and chlorina-1, an E.M.S.-induced mutant, are examples of the former and Hermsen's virescent, a spontaneous mutant, an example of the latter (Sears and Sears, loc. cit.). This paper reports on a further chlorophyll mutant, of spontaneous origin, which involves an intragenic change.
