title: Inheritance of spontaneous male sterility in peas.
abstract: A plant with a mutant phenotype was observed in a 'Longittee' cultivar. The plant was late in maturity, had white-translucent anthers, and was male sterile. The inheritance of this mutant was studied in a cross involving the mutant and the mother parent and their F1, F2, F3 and BC1F1 generations. The results suggested that the sterile character was genetic and due to a recessive gene.
