“…For all crosses, made with a white-seeded plant as one of the parents, have the same shortcoming because of the uncertainty in its genotypic constitution of this white plant; one and the same white race of beans may contain plants very different in factorial constitution with regard to the seedcoat-characters; as now known a white-seeded plant is white because of lacking a certain groundfactor, but it may contain a great many other factors, "that remain unvisible because of the absence of the groundfactor. Thus spontaneous hybridization may offer to us a very welcome subsidiary material for researches; their analysis has been applied by KAJANuS (1914), Lt~NDBERG and AAKERMAN (1917), TJEB~ES and KOOIMAN (1919), SIRKS (1920). Such an analysis is only complete~ if all seeds from an Fl-plant, that originated by spontaneou s hybridization, are available and accordingly the whole F 2--and following gene/'ations can be grown; only the papers of LUNDBERG and AAKERMAN and my own have been worked out in this manner; KAJANUS as also TJEBBWS and KOOIMAN have derived their materials from only one seed with a seedcoat divergent fro m those of the race of origin.…”
