The common name of Mirabilis Jalapa plant is also known as four o'clock plant. It possesses a variegated phenotype of the shoot belonging to the albomaculata strain. It consists of the shoots with variegated leaves. These leaves exhibit yellowish-white colored patches. The shoots also show the presence of complete green leaves or yellowish-white leaves. These leaves have no patches. Various crosses between the shoot bearing male and the female parents revealed the striking phenotypes. The crosses between the white female plants with any of the male plants (green, white or variegated) gave rise to the progeny plants consisting of the white phenotype. The crosses between the green female plant with white, green or variegated male plants gave rise to the progeny having a green phenotype. The crosses between the variegated female plants and white male plants resulted in three types of progeny such as variegated, white or green. Similarly, the crosses with the other two combinations of parents gave rise to the progeny with variegated, green or white phenotypes, respectively. The white coloration indicates the lack of chlorophyll pigment.
