Abstract

Albinism in plants is characterized by partial or complete loss of chlorophyll pigments and incomplete differentiation of chloroplast membranes. This is a very common problem encountered in interspecific crosses and tissue culture experiments including anther culture and generation of doubled haploids. This impairs photosynthesis and the plants eventually die at a young stage without reaching maturity. Environmental conditions such as light, temperature, media composition and culture conditions may key factors in determining the frequency of albino plant formation. This short communication reports the first instance of albinism recorded in Prinsepia utilis Royle. An albino seedling was observed during the standardization of nursery techniques.
