Additional linkage tests of waxy1 marked reciprocal translocations at the MGCSC
--Jackson, JD, Stinard, P

In the collection of A-A translocation stocks maintained at MGCSC is a series of waxy1-linked translocations that are used for mapping unplaced mutants. Also new wx1-linked translocations are being introduced into this series and are in a conversion program to convert each translocation to the inbred backgrounds M14 and W23. These inbreds are then crossed together to produce vigorous F1's to fill seed requests. Over the years, pedigree and classification problems arose during the propagation of these stocks. We have been able to sort through the problem ones, and we can now supply good sources proven by linkage tests to include the correct translocated chromosomes. Additional translocation stocks will be tested as time allows. Below is a summary of additional translocation stocks we have completed testing. Additional pedigree information on bad sources is available should anyone want to check on sources supplied to them previously by the Stock Center.
