Abstract excerpt
Mutations affecting leaflet number and shape occurred at high frequencies in some cowpea crosses. Mutant plants were nonpetiolate and unifoliolate as opposed to normal plants which were petiolate and trifoliolate. Two types of unifoliolate mutants were distinguishable on the basis of leaf shape which was ovate in one mutant and orbicular in the other. The nonpetiolate and the unifoliolate traits in the two...
