Approximately 1 acre each year is devoted to the propagation of the large collection of A-A translocation stocks. In this collection is a series of Waxy1-linked translocations that are used for mapping unplaced mutants. Each translocation is maintained in separate M14 and W23 inbred backgrounds which are 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. Below is a summary of additional translocation stocks we have completed testing.
