These he named provisionally Ck P ck (carried by Bourbon) and ck P Gk s (carried by Sea island) respectively. Since t9: 39 data have been collected which do not confirm Harland's interpret. erich but suggest dmt. abnoJ: mal cor] x is dan to the interaction o:[alleles at a single locus, ie that all corky plan~ s are heterozygotes. Critical analysis has proved to be surprisingly diflqcuR owing to tire complicating factors of female sterility, differential effects of modifier complexes and di: fferen~ ial response to environmental conditions, it is the p'arpose of this paper to give an account of abnormal cork production in oer~, ain ba'rbe~-~.? e~ sse x~ zm'~: e-gek,.'~'~ Ze hybrids, and to consider the geographic clistribution of its occurrence.2. T~ s com< Y CO>~ PLEX Since cork production is only one symptom of a complex abnormality, R will be convenien~ at the outset f, o describe more fntly the abnormal characters which behave as a genetic unR. The first deviation from the normal appearance is seen] prior to flowering, sometimes as early as the firs% foliage leaf. The leaves become yellow in the neighbot~ rhood of the veins, and patches become'cleared'of chlorophyll. Lager a yellowish mottling spreads over the. whole leaf. The edges of the leaves tend to roll inwards so gha~~ he leaf surface becomes trough-shaped instead of fla~. In, emetics are shortened, and i~ extreme cases the main axis of~ he, plan~ is greedy cotnpressed so that i~ becomes dwarfed. wRh crowded leaves. This dwarfing is most nogicea. ble prior~ o flowering. Also there is a~ endency: for an excess production, of lateral branches which enhances the crowded appearance of the vegetative parts. Cork production is very variable and is often suppressed when the plants are shaded or grown under exceptiotmlty humid condbions. Under normal field conditions high-grade corky types h~ ve the whole of the stems, pericles and leaf midribs covered with~ thick greyish layer of cork. The cork usually makes its first appearance as thin streaks r (hming longitudina] ly along the still rapidly elongating stem internodes; hence R occurs prema~ u. rely in comparison xvigk the time of normal cork production.
