Abstract:
The inheritance study of yellow sarson genotypes revealed that yellow color is dominant and controlled by a single gene (monogenic control). White flowers result from defective chloroplasts, as stated in the scientific literature. The F1, F2, BC1, and BC2 generations demonstrated clear flower color inheritance patterns, with yellow flowers dominating in F1. The observed ratios of yellow and white flowers in F2 and backcross generations adhered to Mendelian inheritance principles. These findings provide valuable insights into flower color genetics and offer practical applications for breeding programs.
