1. In this paper the authors dealt with the heredity of a chlorophyll variant found in the progeny of X-rayed rice, which segregates habitually green and yellow seedlings at a ratio of 1:1, the yellows of which die soon. The genetic behaviour had already been explained by assuming two recessive lethal genes. Further survey of the selfed progeny was carried out as well as the examination of the mutant strain by testcrossing with other normal green rice and by γ-ray treatments.2. Assumed were two recessive lethal genes, l1 and l2, which are unable to undergo normal chlorophyll formation, and the respective normal genes, L1 and L2. Coexistence of L1 and L2 produces normal greens, and loss of either of the dominant genes results in yellows. Also, both the loci are so closely linked to each other that recombination occurs scarcely between the loci, and L1 and l2 or l1 and L2 are locatcd on the same chromosome. That is, the green plants of the mutant strain has L1l2 l1L2 gene component, and the selfing gives L1l2 L1l2:L1l2 l1L2:l1L2 l1L2 in a ratio of 1:2:1, the two homozygous types either for l1 or l2 gene being yellow and the heterozygote green.3. Rare occurrence of constant green line in this mutant strain seems to have been caused by mutable recurrence from l1 and l2 to L1 and L2 respectively. And it is proposed that the heredity due to such balanced lethal genes has a significance as a mechanism which protects permanent heterozygosity, having a relation to heterosis breeding.4. The F1 hybrids between this mutant strain and normal green rice were green, and the F2 showed two different segregations; i.e., the one with 3 greens:1 somewhat greenish yellows, and the other with predominant greens: a few whitish yellows.5. The latter segregation may be explicable by a competitive fertilization. Since the gene components of the F1 plants are L1l2 L1L2 or l1L2 L1L2, if no competition occurred between the pollens with different components, a 3:1 segregation would be expected, while if the pollens underwent a competition, a distorted ratio would result. However, some inexplicable problems still remain to be solved.6. Gamma-ray treatments of this mutant strain induced a new mutant strain which showed a segregation of greens, yellows and faint yellows in a ratio of 3:3:2. An explanation that a recessive mutation (A to a) was newly induced may be given. This locus is considered to be independent of above L1 and L2 loci but to be concerned in chlorophyll formation, and this gene seems to behave hypostatically to the balanced lethal genes.
