Abstract

The inheritance of stem, petiole and bract tip color was studied in the cross cms-103A × PFNB-2. F1 studies revealed that purple color of stem, petiole and bract tip is dominant over green color of these plant parts. Complementary gene action was observed for these characters in F2. The genes governing the inheritance of stem, petiole and bract tip colors were designated as Ptla and Psmb, Ptla and Ptlb, Ptla and Pbtb, respectively, the gene Ptla being common to all three traits.

Keywords: sunflower, inheritance, stem color, petiole color and bract tip color
