Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation The F2 cotyledon color segregated 3:1 yellow to orange.
- Observation The BC1F1 cotyledon color segregated 1:1 yellow to orange.
- Observation Cotyledon, flower and leaf head color showed pleiotropic inheritance.
- Observation Orange cotyledons predicted orange flowers and leaf heads.
- Intervention effect Following dark or weak light exposure, seed leaves turned orange after about two hours in sun.
- Intervention effect Low temperature and darkness made orange seed leaves more clearly visible.
- Intervention effect Changing pregermination time between 24 and 48 hours did not alter orange cotyledon visibility.
- Recommendation The authors propose orange cotyledon color as a breeding marker.
