N2  - The present article is concerned with an aspect of paramutation that was first noted during the study of the locus dependence of the paramutant R' phenotype (BRINK, BROWN, KERMICLE and WEYERS 1960). It was observed that, in RrRst plants, the Rr allele not only paramutated to a weakly pigmenting form but also it, in turn, acquired the capacity to promote paramutation. The change in R expression which may be induced by such a paramutant allele (R" or Rg') is small relative to that regularly effected by RSt in RrRst individuals, and will be referred to as secondary paramutation
