Summary
We report on the inheritance of 11 morphological markers and 17 isozymes in lentil (Lens culinaris). The monogenic inheritance of 11 morphological markers and 11 isozymes is confirmed. The inheritance of six isozymes (Aco-2, Enp, Est-3, Est-4, Lap-3, and Mdh-m) is reported for the first time in lentil. This brings the total number of described genes in lentil to 78. Cases of disturbed segregation were more frequent than expected by chance. It is suggested that disturbed segregation was in most cases caused by linkage with a piece of chromosome that showed preferential elimination in crosses between Lens culinaris ssp. odemensis and other subspecies. The prevalence of disturbed segregation in crosses with Lens culinaris ssp. odemensis could limit the usefulness of this subspecies in genetic and linkage studies.
