Abstract
A genetic analysis of P1, F1, F2 and BC1 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 F2 segregates was attributed to reduced vigor and differential seedling survival of the pale cotyledon segregates.
