Abstract:
In many plant species, particularly those of agricultural importance, there is now much effort being devoted to developing comprehensive genetic maps using biochemical and molecular markers. Because these techniques often involve destructive sampling of individual plants the use is increasingly made of homozygous or near-homozygous recombinant lines for linkage studies in preference to F2 or backcross generations. The present paper describes methods for the detection and estimation of linkage using such generations for commonly encountered genetic situations.

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...
