Mapping
of dek31 on chromosome arm 4L
--William F. Sheridan
The embryo-lethal defective kernel mutation
dek31 (ptd*-1130) is located about 14 cM distal to the gl4
locus on 4L. Last spring backcross kernels were scored for sugary (su1)
and colorless (c2), planted in the greenhouse, scored for glossy
(gl4) as seedlings and transplanted to the field and self-pollinated.
The 361 selfed ears were scored for dek31 segregation. Frequencies
of each of the 16 classes of backcross progeny and the recombination frequencies
for the four point linkage test are presented in Table 1.
