Abstract
LEWIS1 has shown that position of truss affects the manifestation of rogues in tomato. Darlington and Mather2 believe this character is plasmagenically inherited, like other forms of rogues in inbreeding species. An investigation was therefore made to determine whether truss position and plasmagenes also influence pleiocotyly, that is, the variation in cotyledon number, in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum).
