Inheritance of Purple-Tipped Wings in Flowers of Korean Lespedeza¹

The inheritance of purple-tipped wings in flowers of Korean lespedeza (Lespedeza stipclacea Maxim.) was studied in two crosses. F₁, F₂, and F₃, data indicate that the purple-tipped wing mutant character is conditioned by a single recessive gene pair. The following genetic symbols are proposed: Ptw for the extended, white wing (normal) allele and ptw for the proximate, purple-tipped wing (mutant) allele.

Key Words: Flower wing position • Marker gene • Mutation • Ionizing radiation
