Chromosomal localization of intergenomic RFLP loci in hexaploid wheat
Abstract:
Hybridization of radiolabeled wheat DNA probes to genomic DNA digests of compensating nullisomic-tetrasomic lines and ditelosomic lines of hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Chinese Spring) can be used to identify intergenomic RFLPs. Sixty-three PstI/BamHI genomic DNA probes and eight cDNA probes were used to determine the chromosomal locations of 223 DNA fragments that define a minimum of 189 RFLP loci. Eighty-four percent of the genomic DNA clones hybridize to fragments located in homoeologous chromosomes and 16% hybridize to fragments located in one chromosome only or to fragments located in nonhomoeologous chromosomes. All of the cDNA probes hybridize to fragments located in homoeologous chromosomes.

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...
