Genetic Studies of Induced Mutants in Melilotus alba III. Folded Leaflet, Elongated Stem, and Short-Petiole Dwarf1

R. R. Ronnenkamp, F. A. Haskins and H. J. Gorz2

Observations of the F1, F2, and F3 progenies of crosses between normal annual Melilotus alba Desr. and three mutants, folded leaflet, elongated stem, and short-petiole dwarf, indicate that each of the mutant characters is controlled by a single recessive gene. Proposed symbols for the three mutant genes are f, el, and dsp, respectively. In limited tests for linkage, el appeared to be linked (12% recombination) to a gene for multifoliolate leaves (Mf). No linkage was detected between f and Mf, cu (low ohydroxycinnamic acid), or b (low ß-glucosidase activity).
