黄瓜黄绿叶突变性状的遗传分析 Genetic Analysis of a Yellow Green Leaf Mutant Character in Cucumber(Cucumis sativus L.)

A yellow green leaf character mutation in cucumber was isolated from a population of selfed individual plant of dark green leaf ' De Chuan' cultivar.Genetic analysis showed that the yellow green leaf character was controlled by one pair of recessive nuclear genes.The character expressed at the seedling stage and the mutant plant have the ability to viable and propagate.It could be used as a morpholmarker.This yellow green leaf gene was provisionally designated as yg1.
