A costata-type mutant, lum-3, was isolated and localised in linkage group V about 10 cM from gp by Swiecicki (3). In the crosses analysed, Swiecicki did not find any linkage between lum-3 and the r–tl segment of group V. As the relative linkage intensities among the markers examined (lum-3, te, cp, gp) were slightly contradictory (3), the precise position of lum-3 could not be stated with certainty.

In my cross of testerline RT-2 (det, Tl, Sca f, Lum-3, Gp) with the Wiatrowo type line for lum-3, WM5309 (Det, tl w, Sca s, lum-3, gp), I found a strong linkage between lum-3 and gene Sca, known to be linked to tl (2), and gp. The dihybrid segregation data for this cross are shown in Table 1.

According to the data obtained in this cross and results given in the previous paper (1), the combined r–tl–gp chromosome segment may be drawn as follows:

1 A,a - first gene; B,b - second gene; h - heterozygous. Where both genes are dominant, the capital letter stands for the dominant allele. Where the second gene is codominant, capital A stands for the dominant allele of the first gene and capital B for an allele of the second gene which is in coupling with A. Where both genes are codominant, the capital letter stands for an allele of the first parent.
