1. Linkage data on Chrom. 3:

Genes Phase XY Xy xY xy Total % recomb.
G2-D1 RS 241 89 85 13 428 38
Rg-Ra2 CB 61 18 41 77 197 30

Severe drought injury made accurate classification of cr and g2 impossible. The g2-d1 results, however, indicate that g2 may be in chrom. 3.

  Genes % recombination
  A-Lg2 39
a1 lg2  +   ⊗  A-Ra2 45
+    +  ra2  Lg2-Ra2 54

The data of these two tables (together with earlier findings) indicate that the ra2 locus is in the neighborhood of d1, probably between d1 and cr.
