    Abstract

    Selection for dormant and non-dormant seed in Sinapis arvensis was carried to the seventh and fourteenth generation, respectively. Crosses between the dormant and non-dormant lines clearly showed both a maternal and an embryonic component of seed dormancy. A model for the number of alleles controlling dormancy was constructed and tested. The maternal component of dormancy was shown to be controlled by a single locus with two alleles, the dormant allele being dominant to the non-dormant. No clear picture of the control of the embryonic component of dormancy was found.
