Abstract
Spontaneous aberrations in maize leading to changes in size and form of the chromosomes have not been investigated from the point of view of determining, systematically, the frequency and positions of breakages and reunions of broken ends of the chromosomes of the complement, as has been done in Tradescantia (Giles, 1940), in Allium (Nichols, 1941) and in other forms (Darlington and Upcott, 1941). Nevertheless, through studies of various problems not directed toward this goal, much has been learned of the process underlying the origin of changes in size and form of the chromosomes of maize which are not conditioned by the usual methods of inducing aberrations, such as X-radiation, ultraviolet radiation, high temperatures and aging.
