Abstract
Phenotypes of alcohol dehydrogenase, malic enzyme and isocitrate dehydrogenase controlled by lociAdhl, Mel andIdh3, respectively, were studied in agamospermous progenies of reciprocal sugar beet hybrids. It is demonstrated that in the experimental model used, each locus is represented by one stable and one unstable allele. Expression of the unstable allele in agamospermous progeny of the hybrid depends on the gamete (maternal or paternal) by which it has been transmitted to the given hybrid.
