| Description |
A new mutant phenotype designated xantha terminalis was identified in pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum [P. americanum]). The mutant was indistinguishable from normal plants until internode elongation, about 50 days after emergence. The top 3 to 5 leaves of the mutant were then yellow, while the basal 5 to 7 older leaves remained green. The occurrence of lethal albinos in the selfed progenies is due to the assortment of normal and mutant plastids during gamete formation. The trait was found to be governed by a single recessive nuclear gene, designated xt. The mutant is a good genetic marker and a useful tool for studies on biochemical genetics
