Abstract:
The linkage relationships in wild emmer wheat, Triticum dicoccoides , between nine enzymatic loci (Mdh-1, Ipo, beta-Glu, Pept-1, Pept-3, Est-5, Est-1, 6Pgdh-2 and Hk) and a coleoptile pigment locus (Rc) were investigated. Chromosome locations of genes were inferred from analysis of ditelocentric lines of Triticum aestivum, cultivar Chinese Spring. The loci Mdh-B1 and Hk are linked (lambda = 0.1869) and are most likely located on the chromosome 1B. The loci Pept-B1 and Rc are linked (lambda = 0.2758) and are located on the 6Bq chromosomal arm. Rc also has significant interactions with the loci Pept-3 and Ipo, although there is no significant linkage detectable. The interactions may be a result of epigenetic interactions. Est-1 has only one active product in T. dicoccoides and is most likely located on the 3Ap chromosome arm. No significant interactions were found for the remaining loci.

Dihybrid Crosses
Trihybrid Crosses
Some of Mendel’s crosses examined three pairs of contrasting characteristics. Such a cross is called a trihybrid cross. A trihybrid cross is a combination of three individual monohybrid crosses. For example, plant height (tall vs. short), seed shape (round vs. wrinkled), and seed color (yellow vs. green).
The F1 generation plants of a trihybrid cross are heterozygous for all three traits and produce eight gametes. Upon self-fertilization, these gametes have an equal chance to...
