Conclusion

On 2A of Hope, and on 2A and 2D of Timstein a locus for a gene conditioning the production of tyrosinase in the caryopses has been identified. The allele of this gene has a strong action causing the caryopses to turn blackish after they had been soaked in water for 24 hours and in an aqueous phenol solution for four hours. It is quite likely that a homeologous locus will be found on 2B.

It is proposed to use Tc as gene symbol, while the particular genes can be numbered as Tc-1 on 2A, Tc-2 on 2B and Tc-3 on 2D.
