INHERITANCE IN SOY BEAN

that the method of inheritance in the beans with yellow 

 cotyledons obtains also in the beans with green cotyle- 

 dons. 



Keeping these statements in mind the cases in Table T 

 may be illustrated as follows: 



Parents (G)HH ( 9 ) X (Y)hh (d 1 ) (G)HH ( 9 )X(Y)HH (d*) 



If the foregoing interpretation really represents the 

 facts in this investigation, we may consider also crosses 

 in which forms such as (G)Hh, (O)hh, and (Y)Hh were 

 used as the parents, since in these crossings phenomena 

 different from those in Table I would be expected. These 

 expectations have been fulfilled in further experiments in 

 which individuals from the previous experiments repre- 

 senting different intensities of seed-coat color were used 

 as the parent plants. The results of these crosses, accom- 

 panied by interpretations, are shown in Table II.
