title: Inheritance of a Lutescent-Leaf color trait in peanut.
abstract: A Lutescent-Leaf color mutant was recently found in the cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.). Crosses involving the Lutescent-Leaf mutant were made both between and within subspecies of hypogaea and fastigiata to determine its inheritance. The F1, F2, and F3 data indicated that two duplicate recessive genes, designated lut1 and lut2, control the Lutescent-Leaf color trait. No maternal or cytoplasmic effects were detected among progenies from reciprocal hybridization.
