Conclusive evidence on the linkage relationships of "ls" cannot be derived
from the above figures. Although significant X^2 was obtained in one of the
two families involving anthocyaninless (-a linkage group V), the independent
segregations of ls - j\1 and ls - f make it unlikely that ls is a member of
this linkage group. Further tests involving other markers on chromosome 8,
such as "dl" and "bu" might prove fruitful.One family provided information on the relationships between j and wt. The F progeny gave the following ratio:
+ + + j wt + j wt X^2 j X^2 wt X^2 Linkage 582 186 157 67 0.134 3.096 2.725These data are consistent with the results of Rick and Barton from which it was concluded that j and wt are independent.
