Linkage relations of gf.

Kerr, E. A.

When gf was reported in TGC6:17 it was suggested that it might be linked with anthocyanin loser in group VI and with fasciated. The following table summarizes the pertinent data that have been obtained:


Tester   Linkage  Phase    a     b     c     d   % crossovers

 ls         8?      R    160    48    47    11   47 +-  4.6
 al         8       R    391   201   190    15   29 +-  2.7
 bu         8       R     88    38    45     8   37 +-  5.6
 l\1        8       R    128    39    50    2)   41 +-  4.2
                    C     53    12    20    3) 
  f         V       C    300   138    97   48)   51 +-  3.0
                   BC      9    15    13    8) 
  d         2       R    705   260   254   73)   46 +-  2.1
                    C     28     6     4    5) 
Green flesh is on chromosome 8 between al and dl. It is not linked with f but, like ls appears to be linked with d. Segregating populations with a, aw, br, c, e, HH, hp, j, l, m, p, r, sp, tf, wt, y, and yv have failed to show linkage.
