At Cornell University, Emerson has been the leader in an important series of genetical investigations of maize, in which the Mendelian factorial composition of many color varieties has been established. In a recent memoir1 he has dealt especially with what he terms plant colors; i.e., colors due to pigments (otherthan those of the chloroplasts) whichare commonly seen in the husks, the staminate...
