Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai - Cucurbit Breeding ...

Table 6. Continued. z
z Data are ratings from three families of Citrullus lanatus var. lanatus: 'Moon and Stars' × 'Black Diamond',
'Moon and Stars' × 'King and Queen', and 'Moon and Stars' × 'Charleston Gray'; data are presented by
family and pooled over families, where the segregation confirmed the single gene hypothesis
y Spotted was the mutant rind and leaf type
x Normal was the standard rind and leaf type
w Expected was the hypothesized segregation ratio for single gene inheritance for each segregating generation
v P a was the carrier of the dominant gene (spotted phenotype)
u P b was the carrier of the recessive gene (uniform phenotype)
t Heterogeneity χ 2 (0.05; 1): F 2 = 2.39, BC 1P b = 0.16
s Heterogeneity χ 2 (0.05; 1): F 2 = 2.01, BC 1P b = 0.14
