Further analysis for the orientation of linkage group V has been
carried out by the use of tertiary trisomies and linkage analysis, as
recommended by Lamm (6). Mitotic measurements by Blixt (1) have clearly
shown that L-379 is a T(3S-5L) interchange. L-379 and L-83 have appa-
rently the same origin and have been shown to be structurally identical
by Lamm (5). Analysis of tertiary trisomies and of linkage relations of
L-83 has been performed by Lamm (4). The junction of linkage group V and
VII as previously proposed by Lamm (4, 7) has elicited some discussions.
Linkage analysis has shown free segregation between the interchange point
of Merton I (3Sp-7Sp) and gene markers wsp, tlw, r, bt (3). In the
latter paper, the location of the "linkage sequence" VII in the distal
part in the long arm of chromosome 5 is thoroughly discussed (cf.
Fig..l). The junction of two linkage groups is, however, not so remark-
able, a similar situation having been recorded in barley (2). The inver-
sion of linkage sequence V in chromosome 5 has previously been pointed
out by Lamm (6). To extend his analysis, I have performed the following
cross:
L-83 x L-1458 (Gp_, Ce, Fs, T[3S-5L] x gp_, ce, fs, N-type.)
The result of this cross (Table la) reveals the following linkage rela-
tion:
Fs - 1.6% - Ce - 19.6% - T - 13.8% - Gp
A compilation of previous cytogenetic measurements by Blixt (1), analyses
of tertiary trisomies by Lamm (8), and the values presented here (Table
lb) place the gene marker gp at 5L and thus ce most probably at 5S.
Detailed arguments for this will be published in Hereditas.
