Abstract
A slow growing male sterile mutant, Ribbon, was first observed in the M2 progenies of 70,000 R treatment of the dry seeds of Corchorus capsularis L. The Ribbon mutant was structurally male sterile due to rudimentation of anther and complete absence of microsporogenous tissue. Genetically, normal leaf trait was dominant over Ribbon trait and male fertility over sterility. The leaf variation Ribbon is controlled by one factor pair and is similar to male sterility. The fluctuation of pollen sterility in F2 population indicated the probability of the presence of 2 closely linked genes controlling the 2 traits.Keywords
