A yellow‐leaf character in sugarbeet ( Beta vulgaris L.) was conditioned by a single recessive gene. A genetic pollen fertility restorer in CMS plants, observed in the yellow‐leaf material, was found to be inherited as a single dominant gene. Linkage tests showed that yellowleaf ( yl ) was independent of monogerm ( m ), annual growth habit ( B ), and the restorer gene ( Rf 3 ).
