aegrota, (aeg)
- Habit: Grown plants strong and healthy with stiff
growth.
- Leaves: Seedlings often show cupshaped leaflets. Later leaves
rounded, broader than normal. Leaves have a bluegreen color with
almost parallel veins.
- Seedlings: "Sick" appearance. Growth strongly retarded.
Changes do not affect all seedlings similarly. Seems strongly dependent
upon the environment. After a few weeks the growth retardation is
overcome by most of the seedlings.
- Cotyledones:
- Hypocotyl:
- Inflorescence: Not dense. Number of flowers reduced.
- Flowers: Smaller, more fragile than normel. Of a light
pink color.
- Upper lip: Strong color and often pointedly rolled up.
- Lower lip:
- Bumps:
- Seed:
- Roots: Seedlings show very weak rootlets that do not
penetrate into the substrate.
- Remarks: Mutant found several times in Sippe 50. (F2 222 : 26).
- Pictures:
- Stubbe's original notes (as stored in the
IPK, Gatersleben) (in German!):
- Literature:
