Abstract
A genetic analysis of P 1 , F 1 , F 2 and BC 1 in Melilotus alba revealed that the pale cotyledon trait was controlled by a single recessive gene, designated pc. This trait is characterized by chlorophyll-deficient cotyledons and normal green unifoliolate and subsequent trifoliolate leaves. Mature plants are indistinguishable from normal green sibs. The consistent deficiency of recessive F 2 segregates was attributed to reduced vigor and differential seedling survival of the pale cotyledon segregates.
