This is a title only record which contains no abstract.The anantha mutant investigated was obtained from X-irradiated seed of the tomato variety Condine Red. Study of the phases I and II which result in the formation of the dichasia and scorpioid cymes respectively, in the normal tomato plant and the mutant anantha showed that in the latter case not only is phase I of longer duration than in the normal plant but also the number of branchings is greater, with a concomitant absence of primordia and of development of centrally situated flowers in the dichasia. Again in the mutant, phase II, which normally leads to the development of the individual flowers, is limited as regards duration and the number of scorpioid cymes produced. No primordia or differentiation of flowers is found. Alteration of the balance between the two phases causes enlargement of the whole inflorescence owing to the multiplicity of inflorescence axes and complete absence of primordia and flower development, so that the plant is sterile.
