Abstract
Abstract A partially dominant allele for early flowering in lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) reduces flowering time by about one-half. This property is useful in backcross breeding procedure to accelerate the transfer of useful alleles to a desired recurrent parent. Application of the technique to transfer resistance to lettuce mosaic is described through 4 backcrosses. Generalization of the technique for other species is discussed.
