178 CORRELATION OF COLOUR CHARACTERS IN RICE 
2. Variety Kataktara x Charnak. Variety Kataktara has again a 
brick-red husk, Charnak a pale-yellow husk. The Charnak husk is dominant, 
and in Fy, segregation is into 3 yellow: 1 red. 
At flowering time the glumes which ripen yellow are pale green, those 
which ripen red are golden-green in colour. There is no connection otherwise 
between the ripe glume colours and the colours in the vegetative parts. 
SUMMARY. 
In the results discussed above, definite ratios have been obtained in five 
cases. In two of these, Pookhi was crossed with varieties having glumes 
ripening black. In both, the Pookhi husk (yellow-brown) was recessive, and 
segregation was into 3 black : 1 yellow-brown. 
In another, Pookhi was crossed with a variety with glumes ripening 
red. Here Pookhi was dominant, and segregation into 3 yellow-brown: 1 
red. 
A similar result was obtained in the cross Charnak x Kataktara. The 
yellow glume cf Charnak was dominant over the red of Kataktara, and 
segregation was into 3 yellow: 1 red. 
In still another cross between yellow and red, yellow was again dominant, 
but segregation was into 9 yellow : 6 yellow and red: 1 pure red. 
In no case has any connection been proved between the ripe glume colours 
and the colours in the vegetative parts previously discussed.
