Breeding System and Chromosome Number in Lotononis bainesii Baker

Nature volume 202, page 830 (1964)Cite this article

Abstract

Lotononis bainesii Baker is a pasture legume introduced into Australia from South Africa. It has grown well on the sandy soils of the high rainfall areas of south-east Queensland1 and it has a highly specific Rhizobium requirement2. As an initial step in a genetic investigation of this plant, the breeding system and the chromosome complement have been investigated.
