Mutual
mapping of RFLPs and 33 B-10L translocations
--Cheng, Y-M, Lin, B-Y
Hypoploids and hyperploids, produced by
crossing B73 with pollen of B-10L translocations present in the W22 background
(Lin, MNL 48: 182-184, 1972), were used to map RFLPs. Because the hypoploid,
but not hyperploid, is deficient of the distal portion of 10L, the absence
of the paternal signal indicates an RFLP position distal to the breakpoint.
By the same rationale, the presence of the paternal signal implies a proximal
position. Altogether, 7 RFLPs were analyzed against this set of translocations,
and they divide the set into six groups. The most proximal group includes
four translocations (TB-10L19, TB-10L26, TB-10L22, and TB-10L7), and the
most distal one has a single translocation (TB-10L32) (Figure 1).
