Abstract
In studies of interspecific hybrids in Nicotiana it was found that certain characters normally recessive in intraspecific crosses in N. tabacum were not dominant in the F1 of the cross with N. sylvestris. These results do not appear to conform with the theory of reaction systems advanced by Clausen and Goodspeed in 1916 and 1917, in which it is claimed that the tabacum system dominates over the sylvestris system. The suggestion is made that genes or groups of genes may be more powerful in one species over the other irrespective of the protoplasmic system involved.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
