Anomalous Endosperm Development in Maize and tlic Problem of Bud Sports. 259 



mutation rather tlian as a somatic segregation. The importance of a 

 genetic analysis of material in which bud sports occur, particularly 

 recessive bud sports, in order to determine whether the factors concerned 

 are in a heterozygous or homozygous condition, is pointed out.
