N2  - In 1938 (and 1941 ) RHOADES reported the case of a mutational event controlled by a specific intranuclear factor (the Dotted gene) which causes the recessive a, allele to mutate to the dominant form A,. Since then additional evidence for specific genic controllers of mutation has been reported by MCCLINTOCK (1950, 1951 ) and BRINK and NILAN (1952). Their work has shown that mutable genes are governed by accessory factors. These same factors are readily transferable to various locations in the genome and are able to regulate the time and rate of gene mutation. It was further shown that these factors of mutable systems can, when transposed, govern the action and mutability of other loci (MCCLINTOCK 1953). The current report is an analysis of the pale green mutable gene system and its various components. This system is similar in many ways to previously described systems and, in addition, there is evidence for an even closer relationship of component parts. An abstract of the material in this report has been presented by PETERSON (1953)
