Excerpt from The Inheritance of Red Colour, and the Regularity of Self-Fertilisation, in Corchorus Capsularis, Linn: The Common Jute Plant
From 1902 to 1907 we were engaged in making a prelimin ary survey of the races of jute cultivated in India. And, in the Agricultural Ledger No. 6 of 1907, we gave an account of our results to that date. We had under observation, from year to year, during this investigation, plots representing practically all* the races recognized by the ryots in every part of the two Bengals. These plots were both on the Burdwan Experimental Farm and at the Pusa Research Institute; and in several years they were over one hundred in number. Red races and green ones stood side by side but the races seemed to reproduce true, after we had weeded out from them the aberrant plants, which sprang from the original, and often very impure, seed which we obtained from the districts.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed study of the inheritance of red colour and the regularity of selffertilisation in jute plants. The author provides an overview of the various races of jute cultivated in India, and describes the methods used to cross-fertilise and self-fertilise jute plants. The results of these experiments are then presented, and the author discusses the implications of these findings for the breeding of jute plants. The book provides a valuable resource for scientists and researchers working in the field of plant breeding and is also relevant for the study of genetics to understand inheritance and hybridisation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
