Abstract
The aim of research was to explain mode of inheritance of the alfalfa spontaneous mutation that causes the formation of inflorescence on the stem top of the forms with long racemes, thus leading to termination of the plant growth. The inheritance of this character was studied in S1 and S2 progenies obtained by selfing a mutant plant, as well as in F1, F2 and F3 generations of hybrids obtained by crossing indeterminate plants with S2 mutant progenies. The analysis of segregation in the selfed progenies of the mutant plants and in F1 – F3 progenies of the hybrids showed that the determinate growth character is controlled by a single gene in the configuration of four recessive alleles ti ti ti ti (ti — top inflorescence).
