Synopsis
Mutations in a garden variety reveal how plant heredity really works. This study examines unusual forms in Matthiola annua, including the Snowflake cultivar, and what they show about how traits pass from one generation to the next.
This work catalogs several mutant or apparent mutant types, describes how they arise, and analyzes their inheritance. It highlights how some forms appear to be linked with flower traits and how environmental factors can influence growth, fertility, and development.
- How apparent mutants arise and persist across generations in a Mendel?style species
- Evidence for possible linkage between mutant factors and single or double flowers
- Patterns of viability, germination, and environmental impact on mutant lines
- Historical context and methods used to study plant heredity in these cases
Ideal for readers who enjoy the history of genetics, plant breeding, and how scientists interpret unusual inheritance in model plants.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the case for mutation in a species where this phenomenon had not previously been observed. The author's investigations revealed a number of mutant types, some corresponding to variations known in other plant species. These mutations are particularly fascinating as the plants display strange phenotypes and unusual inheritance patterns. The author explores these patterns and considers phenomena such as segregation ratios and linkages. Throughout this scholarly and comprehensive study, the author maintains a highly critical and analytical approach. The groundbreaking work will be of great interest to students and researchers in genetics, evolution, and plant science. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
