Four varieties of Brassica campestris L., ‘Toria‐A’, ‘Toria‐BP’, ‘Toria‐TP’ and ‘Toria‐7’, and their corresponding crosses and backcrosses were studied with respect to the inheritance of seed coat color. Chi‐square tests were performed to assess the results obtained. It was found that seed coat color was conditioned by a single gene and that reddish brown was completely dominant over yellow.
