A linkage map of rye
Abstract:
A linkage map of rye (Secale cereale L.) is presented which comprises 60 loci including RFLPs, RAPDs, isozyme, morphological and physiological markers. The genetics and linkage relationships of these markers were investigated in several inbred lines of rye. For the RFLP mapping a genomic library of PstI-digested DNA was constructed from which 50 size-selected clones were analysed. The portion of single-copy and multi-copy DNA and the frequency of polymorphic DNA was determined. The markers are unequally distributed over the seven chromosomes of rye. Many of them exhibit a distorted segregation. The main region of deviating segregation ratios could be localized near the self-incompatibility loci.

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...
