of the soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merr., seed and are disliked by the processor for certain industrial uses. Soybeans of genotypes I or i i may develop considerable black or brown pigment, called mottling, which appears in irregular patterns varying greatly from seed to seed. The color of the mottling is controlled by the same genes that control seed color (3, 6). Woodworth and Cole (7) Owen (3) reported that the development of seed coat mottling was much greater under certain environments, however, they did not ascertain the specific environmental and genetic factors resulting in its development. Hollowella reported that high fertility and a thick stand favored seed coat mottling.
