✦ Synopsis

Tolerance to manganese toxicity in lucerne, assessed from four different seedling criteria in the selfed and crossed progenies of 4 parents, gave high heritability, as estimated from a parent-progeny regression analysis, interpreted under the assumption of autotetraploid inheritance . Genes controlling this character were therefore assumed to be additive and to have low or no dominance, thus increasing the effectiveness of selection .
