Single locus, multiallelic inheritance of foliar variegation in Aglaonema

Foliar variegation in Aglaonema is shown to be controlled by a single locus multiallelic system in which the presence of variegation is dominant to nonvariegation. Different variegation patterns are determined by separate dominant alleles. The codominant nature of alleles allowed expression of two v...

Description
Summary:Foliar variegation in Aglaonema is shown to be controlled by a single locus multiallelic system in which the presence of variegation is dominant to nonvariegation. Different variegation patterns are determined by separate dominant alleles. The codominant nature of alleles allowed expression of two variegation patterns in the same plant.
