Assignments I. Linkage Groups Chromosome Group Personnel Chromosome 1, linkage group III Lesley, Soost Chromosome 2, linkage group I Butler, (Jenkins, 0) Chromosome 7, linkage group X & XII Bargham Chromosome 8, linkage grotip VI & VIII Griffins, Rick Chromosome 9, Rick linkage group II Bohn linkage group V Burdick, Martens, (Jenkins, f)II. Screening unlocated genes: Kerr, Pollack
III. Linkage for disease resistance: Barham, Andrus, Gilbert, Reynard, Kerr.
IV. Unassigned groups: IV, VII, IX, XI (Dr. Butler has offered to handle these groups until they are assigned.)
A great amount of work must be expended even before we have only the framework of the tomato linkage groups. More volunteers would therefore be most welcome to participate in the work with the larger groups, the unassigned groups, or projects II and III. The need for raw materials is also great, so please help the program by sending new unlocated genes to the screening section. The cooperation of the entire membership in this very important fundamental work will be greatly appreciated.
