Title

L. Butler Canadian Journal of Botany 1965. doi:10.1139/b65-016
Other claims from this paper (9)
- Association The listed genes all affect fruit weight.
- Association Recessive alleles except suf and Lc were associated with small fruit size.
- Association The major fruit-size effect occurred in the o region.
- Association The o gene makes fruit oval or pear-shaped instead of spherical.
- Association With equal locule-wall cell counts, spherical fruit is heavier than oval fruit.
- Observation A gene controlling locule number and fruit size lies in this chromosome section.
- Observation The authors suggest size genes lie in heterochromatin adjacent to both linkage-map ends.
- Association suf appears to increase fruit size through pleiotropy.
- Association dil appears to decrease fruit size through pleiotropy.
