The Inheritance of Shank Color in Chickens.

Several publications in recent years have given conflicting reports upon the inheritance of shank color. Yellow shank color has been reported to be inherited in a simple Mendelian fashion, the sex-linked gene for yellow shank color ( U ) being dominant to its allele (y) , the gene for blue shank color. In contrast to this, the gene for yellow shank color has been reported to be autosomal, the r...

Paternal inheritance of plastid-encoded transgenes in Petunia hybrida in the greenhouse and under field conditions

As already demonstrated in greenhouse trials, outcrossing of transgenic plants can be drastically reduced via transgene integration into the plastid. We verified this result in the field with Petunia, for which the highest paternal leakage has been observed. The variety white 115 (W115) served as recipient and Pink Wave (PW) and the transplastomic variant PW T16, encoding the uidA reporter gene...

Inheritance of Seed Color in Lactuca Sativa^

The mature fruit of lettuce is an achene or naked seed, the color of which is determined by the color of its pericarp. The pigments that give the seed its particular color seem to be localized in the pericarp tissues.^ The mode of inheritance of seed color is of immediate practical importance to those breeding lettuce for disease resistance, climatic adaptation, and desirable commercial charact...
