Published on Jul 28, 2018 11:40 AM

Inheritance was studied for pink-veined white flower in
chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). This flower colour Is rare
in this legume which commonly has pink, white and less
frequently blue flowers. A recessive gene, designated ife,
was found to inhibit flower colour without affecting vein
colour of the corolla. When ire was present In homozygous
condition, P- B- and pp B- genotypes gave pink-veined
white flower and blue-veined white flower, respectively.
