Abstract excerpt
The genetic system under investigation is defined by three major components: a gene, Sn, conferring tissue specific anthocyanin accumulation in different plant regions, light, required for color development in competent tissues, and another gene, Pl, substituting for light in its capacity to elicit pigment production. Attention is given in this paper to an Sn allele, symbolized Sn:bol3, capable of some...
