Abstract

Albino seedlings were observed among selfings of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) collected in Nigeria. Discrete phenotypic classes of pigmented plants and albinos conformed well with Mendelian ratios tested by Jate's corrected Chi-square. Albinism in the oil palm was found to be controlled by a recessive gene.
