Abstract
THE V by leaf-marking allele in Trifolium repens results in the production of a phenotype characterized by the presence of a broken white V surmounted by a yellow tip (Fig. 1a). A separation of the two parts by crossing-over has never been reported. There are eleven known alleles at this locus1, of which v determining the absence, is recessive to all alleles determining the presence of a mark. Most compounds not involving v exhibit mosaic dominance2.
