Abstract
A double-flower form of Nicotiana alata Link & Otto was characterized genet ically as a monogenic recessive trait expressed when homozygous, Reciprocal crosses demonstrated no maternal effect on expression of double flowers, A single dominant gene expressed in the homozygous or heterozygous state cau sed the single-flower phenotype, The symbol fw is proposed to describe the gene controlling double-flower phenotype.
