Nicotiana Tabacum L

A short-internode mutation in burley tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) was inherited as a monogenic trait. Heterozygous plants varied in phenotype from comparable to the short-internode mutant to intermediate between mutant and normal plants. In generations following crosses between the mutant line and three burley cultivars, the degree of expression of dominance varied by years, maternal parent, cultivar background, and percentage of germplasm from the mutant parent. The short-internode line was reduced in plant height and had narrower leaves than the three cultivars. Also, the mutant line had more leaves than two of the three cultivars and was comparable to the cultivars in yield and several chemical components. Short-internode cultivars could be developed for use in present production or in mechanized handling systems.

The authors describe the objectives, and progress to date, of plant breeding investigations at the INRA Plant Improvement Stations designed to produce new varieties of soft wheat, barley, maize, oats and rye with better agronomic characteristics—such as shorter straw, improved disease-resistance and winter hardiness, and earlier maturity—and enhanced quality. The latter includes various aspects of baking and breadmaking quality, and nutritional quality for animal feeding.
