A TB-9Lc stock with Wc on the B-A chromosome

A TB-9Lc stock that carries Wc on the B-A chromosome has been identified. Along with a seed size effect associated with the translocation, the placement of Wc on the B-A chromosome greatly simplifies identification of hyperploid and hypoploid kernels on a testcross ear. Limited quantities of seed of this translocation are available. Efforts to make the stock homozygous for the translocation should be completed by next summer.
