In 1924 a progeny of Manchu soybeans was found to be segregating for sterility. The segregation has since proved to be very clear-cut and a single factor mutation is held to be responsible for the results. Careful records had also been taken of the parental plants for two previous generations so it is quite certain that the origin was by means of a genuine mutation and not merely a heterozygous selection. The following results were obtained by growing seed from the plant (No. 26-5-11) which bore the first sterile seeds.
