Abstract
Four mutants were isolated from S1 progenies of early-flowering B. campestris plants and were described as dwarf plant, tucked petal, jagged petal margin, and male sterile. All were inherited as monogenic recessives. Genetic concepts that can be demonstrated by using these mutants include segregation. pleiotropy, penetrance, expressivity, and epistasis.
