Summary
Inheritance of leafshape in both turnip and rape was investigated. F2-offspring segregation ratios indicate a simple way of inheritance of leafshape. In turnip entire leaf was mono- or digenically dominant over cutleaf. In rape entire leaf was incomplete monogenically dominant over cutleaf.
