Abstract	Summary: A mutation involving a delay in the development of chlorophyll in seedlings of Triticum vulgare is described. Reciprocal crosses were made between the mutant and the line in which it appeared. In both crosses simple mendelian segregation occurred, normal green being dominant. Five mutations to normal have been observed in the mutant line. In four of these only a small section of somatic tissue was affected, in the fifth, a normal green plant resulted. Further evidence of the instability of the mutant is provided by the occurrence of a true albino seedling, and also of a seedling lacking the yellow pigment characteristic of the original mutant.
