Abstract
An albino mutant of einkorn wheat which lacks plastid pigments was cultured in a test tube on nutrient agar medium containing 8 percent sucrose, under long and short photoperiods. The plants showed typical photoperiodic responses to long and short days, suggesting the presence of a pigment system, other than plastid pigments, which is sensitive to dim radiation.
