Abstract

Two plants of Vaccinium elliottii growing 600 km apart in southwest Alabama and the northern Florida peninsula showed similar anomalous phenotypes: yellow rather than red fall foliage, whitish-green rather than reddish-brown bud scales, and greenish-white rather than black ripe fruit color. Crossing tests indicated that the abnormal pigmentation in the 2 plants is conditioned by the same recessive allele. The mutant allele complemented another allele, which conditions albino fruit but normal foliage, in V. elliotii.
