Abstract: | Summary A spontaneous fasciated mutant was detected in the chickpea cv. Amethyst. It was characterised by broad, strap-like stems, irregular leaf arrangement and clustering of pods towards the stem apices. F2 and F3 segregations showed that fasciation was controlled by a single, recessive gene for which the symbol fas is proposed. Field trials comparing the fasciated mutant with its non-fasciated isoline showed that fasciation was associated with lower yield, larger seeds, delayed flowering and increased lodging. |
