Inheritance of three seed-coat color genes in Vigna sinensis Savi

Francis L. Smith

Hilgardia, 1956, vol. 24, issue 11

Abstract: A breeding program of Blackeye 5 × Iron showed interaction among these three gene pairs to produce ten phenotypes. No evidence of linkage was found. Studies of all possible genotypes in the F3 generation provided data that fitted expectation very closely in genotypes segregating for one or two genes and in relatively small families. However, in large populations of genotypes segregating for three genes, significant deviations from expectation were found. Re-examination of the data to test the hypothesis of unequal efficiency between gametes containing dominant and recessive alleles indicated a slightly greater efficiency of gametes containing dominant alleles.
