Abstract

A spontaneous dwarf (D11) mutant was identified in an advanced line ICPL 146. In order to study inheritance of the dwarfness in D11 and its allelic relationship to the D1 dwarfing gene, D11 was crossed with three tall lines (ICPL 146, ICPL 85024, ICPL 85037) and a D1 dwarf (ICPL 85059) in 1986. The segregation patterns in F1, F2, backcrosses to both the parents and F3 progenies suggested that D11 dwarfness is governed by a single recessive gene in homozygous condition (t5t5). The genes in D11 and D1 were found to be nonal1elic.
