Burdick, A. B.
The following new gene symbols have been approved by the gene symbol and nomenclature committee (Dr. Clayberg, chairman), and are now in use:
Old Designation New Designation Description
a\179 ab anthocyaninless-base: a
typical green stem mutant,
similar to all the others;
spontaneous in San Marzano.
a\340 am anthocyanin-minus: a typical
green stem mutant, similar to
all the others; irradiation
induced.
yg\388 yw yellows. very yellow
cotyledons and leaves, slow
growing; good plant viability;
irradiation induced in line
018 by seed treatment; the
most yellow mutant we have.
yg\389 yo yellow: bright yellow
cotyledons and leaves;
seedling etiolates; plant very
vigorous; gametic and zygotic
viability good; irradiation
induced in line 018 seed.
pg\390 pa pale green: cotyledons and
leaves pale green; phenotype
good; irradiation induced in
line 018 seed.
pg\391 pl pale: cotyledons pale
gray-green and leaves seem to
fade to a dull yellow color;
easy classification; irradia-
tion induced in 018 seed.
pg\392 li light green: cotyledons light
yellow (like ye); leaves pale
green; leaf shape normal;
classification sometimes
difficult; irradiation induced
in 018 seed.
p483 lt light green: cotyledons and
leaves light green cotyledons
fade to yellow; mature plant
pale green; irradiation.'
induced in 018 seed.
