Abstract excerpt
The genetic control of four developmental characters was studied in Amaranthus caudatus L. Determinant panicle growth was determined by one recessive gene. Two major genes governed panicle orientation, with erect panicles incompletely dominant to drooping panicles. Additional modifier genes appeared to alter expression of panicle orientation. A single recessive gene determined dwarfism. Pleiotropy or tight...
