| Abstract: | The inheritance of seed color was studied in the brown seeded Ethiopian mustard (Brassica carinata A. Braun), cultivar S-67. Seed color was controlled by a single gene pair. The heterozygous condition resulted in light yellow-brown set-d indicating incomplete dominance [semidominance] of brown over yellow. The homozygous recessive condition resulted in yellow seed. The significance of these findings in relation to seed color inheritance in other Brassica species is discussed. |
