title: [Tendril inheritance in semi-leafless pea and its utilization in breeding].
abstract: Using semi-leafless pea and common pea, the authors studied tendril character, its inheritance law and how to use it in pea breeding. The results were as follows: Semi-leafless pea had well developed tendrils; They twined with each other and formed an arbor structure. This ideal structure had greatly increased lodging resistance capability,improved canopy's air and light level, and remarkably increased new varieties yield. So, semi-leafless pea was one of the most important materials in lodging resistance breeding. Tendril gene, af, and seed color gene i, in semi-leafless pea was linked on chromosome I, and cross-over value was 5.72%.
