Excerpt from Contributions From the Laboratory of Plant Genetics, Vol. 1: 1909-1913In a previous paper two series of data were presented, each giving the results from one year's selection of the extremes of a highly variable but accurately determined ¿uctuating char acter of the common potato, Solanum tuberosum L., when these extremes were reproduced asexually. The character under con sideration was the total content of nitrogen determined by the Kjeldahl process. In one series, extremes averaging per cent. And per cent. In total nitrogenous matters when cal culated to water-free basis, yielded crops averaging per cent. And per cent, respectively, in the other series, extremes averaging per cent. And per cent. In total nitrogenous matters, yielded crops averaging per cent. And per cent, respectively. These figures were due apparently to a correlation between mother and daughter tubers - ii one may be allowed to use such terms - and yet the evidence even at that time did not appear to the writer to justify a conclusion that asexual ¿uctuations were inherited.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
