Abstract
The seeds of Gluta travancorica Bedd. during ex situ germination exhibited multiple albino seedlings along with normal green ones. The albinos were perished after 40-50 days of germination due to lack of chlorophyll. The development of albino seedlings thus being facilitated to identify the albino carrying genotypes of the species in its natural populations and further to act as a genetic marker to estimate the degree of self-breeding in the species. The phenomenon insights much genetic significance in determining the threat status and foreseen the endangerment of the species in the Western Ghats.
