The inheritance of arthritic mutation in pea was studied using 10 crosses involving 11 parents of diverse origin. The inheritance pattern was studied with the x2 test for goodness of fit for segregation in individual crosses as well as on pooled data basis. The total number of plants in F, generation ranged from 133 (P 1746-1 XP 1760) to 830 (P 1743 XP 1746-4-1) in different crosses (total 3134 plants). The study confirmed that arthritic mutation is controlled by a single recessive gene designated as art 1. This character has potential application in pea breeding for restructuring plant type for higher productivity.
