Linkage Relationships Of Located And Unlocated Genetic Testers In Certain Normal And Translocation Stocks Of Barley, William Ralph Andersen May 1958

Linkage Relationships Of Located And Unlocated Genetic Testers In Certain Normal And Translocation Stocks Of Barley, William Ralph Andersen

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Barley is an economically important cereal crop throughout most of the world. The study and elucidation of the genetic complex of this plant will add to its extensive usefulness to man, and will also provide valuable information for similar research projects on other crop plants.

Linkage And Inheritance Studies In Barley (Hordeum), Robert E. Heiner

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Barley has had wide acceptance not only as a cultivated crop but also as an excellent source of genetic material. Barley was being used in inheritance studies by Tschermak when he rediscovered Mendel's laws of heredity. Since then barley has become one of the most widely used plants for genetic studies known today.

More than 100 characters have been investigated indicating the relative ease of classification. There are 7 linkage groups corresponding to the 7 chromosomes in which 2 or more characters have been located as reported by Robertson (1939). But Kramer, Veyl, and Hanson (1954), from translocation experiments, suggest …
