Abstract: Five types of floral transformations, viz. four carpels, five stamens, two stamens, leafy floret and grooved ovary with one stamen transformed to rudimentary ovary fitting in the groove, vs. the normal with three stamens, one carpel and two lodicules, were induced in N 164 barley and each was controlled by a single recessive gene designated as mo, fs, lf and go, respectively. These transformations imply an interpretation of both phylogeny and ontogeny of flower. Also, these may become of great interest in understanding the process of differentiation.
