Summary
The inheritance of the dwarf plant type was studied in blackgram (V. mungo (L.) Hepper). ‘Type 9’ has erect plant type with normal internode length. The mutant line, ‘EMSD’ has reduced internode length. The F1, F2 and F3 generations of a cross between ‘Type 9’ and ‘EMSD’ and its reciprocal were studied. The extreme dwarf plant type appeared to be governed by a single recessive gene, dw 1 dw 1 with no cytoplasmic effect.
