Bif1-pro1-Lg4 linkage on chromosome 8
--M. G. Neuffer and Dan England

Data from the cross of Bif1 pro1 Lg4/+++ on +++ are given below. We had some problems such as reduced numbers of the double dominant Bif1 Lg4, and poor expression of Lg4 in the A632 background used. However, we have been able to establish the order of these 3 genes as Bif1 pro1 Lg4. The plants were selfed to test for pro1.
