Abstract;Flower color and floral pigments were evaluated on an intersubgeneric hybrid(9027-2), obtained by crossing R.kiusianum Makino cv. Shirobana-miyamakirishima*R.indicum(L.) Sweet cv. Hakata-jiro, and R.japonicum f.flavum. The flowers of the 9027-2 were pale yellow at full bloom. The absorption peaks detected in the extracts from the petals of R.japonicum f.flavum and 9027-2 are considered to be .BETA.-carotene and that this pigment was inherited by 9027-2 from R.japonicum f.flavum. The 9027-2 was confirmed as the hybrid between (R.kiusianum cv. Shirobana-miyamakirishima*R.inducum cv. Hakata-jiro) hybrid No.1 and R.japonicum f.flavum No.1 by isozyme analysis. (author abst.)
