Abstract
Inheritance of 18 morphological characters, in six crosses of groundnut in which Gujarat narrow leaf mutant was used as the pollen parent, is reported. Albinism, dwarfism and testa colour gave a segregation ratio of 15:1; growth habit leaf-let shape, branching, number of primaries, secondaries, pigmentation on the shoot, pod and kernel size, beaked nature of pod, number of kernels per pod and kernel shape gave segregations fitting into a monogenic ratio of 3:1; hairiness of stem and leaf colour exhibited incomplete dominance (1:2:1); height of main axis segregated into a modified digenic ratio of 1:2:2:1:4:1:2:2:1 while the number of stomata gave two types of segregation (15:1 and 3:1) depending on the parentage.
