Summary

A number of crosses were made to study the mode of inheritance of flower colour and number of locules per capsule of sesame. Red flower colour was dominant to white, and 4-loculed dominant over 8-loculed pods, each of the traits being controlled by a single gene pair segregating in a 3:1 F2 ratio.
