Abstract

In sib families of Pennisetum americanum derived from IP1475 (an inbred maintained by selfing for ten generations, in which desynaptic plants segregate in some progenies), segregation ratios of desynaptic (D) : normal (N) plants did not fit any simple Mendelian ratio. One F2 family from a D X N cross showed a segregation ratio of 15 N : 1 D. In one family out of several in which 20 plants per family were examined, 18 D : 2 N plants occurred. The D plants fell into four groups, with 2-6, 2-10 and 10-14 univalents and univalents + fragmented chromosomes, respectively. No significant differences were found between the N and D plants or between the D groups for potassium or phosphate content
