Abstract

Controlled crosses were made to test 16 diverse peach [ Prunus persica(L.) Batsch] clones for allelism of the white-flowered (anthocyanin deficient) phenotype. Most of the F 1 progeny were anthocyanin deficient, but an occasional anthocyanin positive seedling occurred, presumably due to outcrossing in the field. The results showed that all sixteen white-flowered peach clones tested are allelic for the anthocyanin deficient phenotype.
