Abstract
Under an ultra-violet lamp, fluorescent off-type seeds were picked from a registered sample of non-fluorescent Clinton oats. Crosses were made between the two types of seeds and the F2 segregated into a 3:1 ratio of fluorescent to non-fluorescent types. Parental lines were grown for three generations under different environments. The environment did not change the reaction but did affect the density or colour of fluorescence exhibited. In some parental lines, off-types appeared. They were presumed to be mutations. Some information about the origin of the genes for non-fluorescence is also presented.
