Studies on F 1 , F 2 , F 3 , and backcross generations of three crosses and their reciprocals in sorghum, Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench, showed that the inheritance of basmati (scented plant) and dimpled seed characters is controlled by two independent recessive genes. The plump seed character exhibited xenia.
