A SPONTANEOUS LEAF COLOUR MUTANT IN SACCHARUM
Main Article Content
Abstract
A Saccharum edule Hassk. clone 57 NG 234, with purple leaves, leaf sheaths and cane, had a green-purple striped bud mutant. On clonal multiplication the striped form gave rise to plants with purple, green or striped leaves and leaf sheaths. This mutation is proposed to be due to a transposable element acting on a gene affecting anthocyanin synthesis, analogous to the B gene in maize.
