Genetic and Biochemical Studies of Various Induced Mutants in Melilotus Alba

A high degree of variation exists among species of the genus Melilotus; however, the genetics of these variations have not been studied to any appreciable extent. The studies reported in this thesis were initiated to determine the inheritance and possibly the biochemical nature of some newly isolated mutants. The material is presented in three parts.
