Paper Summary

Leaf shape inheritance in greengram and blackgram was studied by crossing different leaf shape types. The researchers found that ovate leaf shape in greengram and lanceolate leaf shape in blackgram are controlled by a single recessive gene. The gene symbols for leaf shape in greengram and blackgram are ov and OV, respectively. This means that leaf shape is a distinct feature that is inherited simply, making it a useful marker in genetic studies.
