Monosomics in common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris
1Department of Horticulture and Genetics Institute, Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon, USA.
Abstract:
Two monosomics of Phaseolus vulgaris (2n = 22) were found among selfed progeny of plants treated with colchicine. The monosomic chromosomes involved were identified as chromosomes H and J according to the previously suggested Giemsa karyotype. Both monosomic plants had slower growth rate and smaller size as compared with their respective euploid sibs. However, no apparent morphological characteristics distinguished the two monosomics. The frequencies of transmission through selfing of monosomics H and J were 9% and 10 % respectively.

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...
