The conflict between the Mendelian theory of participate inheritance1 and the observation of
continuous variation for most traits in nature was resolved in the early 1900s by the concept …

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) and tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) are members of the
Solanaceae (nightshade family) and have the same basic chromosome number (x= 12) …

Recombinant inbred lines of maize have been developed for the rapid mapping of molecular
probes to chromosomal location. Two recombinant inbred families have been constructed …

Summbary Through earlier breeding efforts, portions of the genome of the wild species
Lycopersicon chmielewskii have been introgressed into the cultivated tomato (Rick 1974) …

By making use of pedigree information and information on marker-genotypes of the parent
and F-1 individuals crossed to form an F-2 population, it is possible to carry out a linkage …

Forty-one hexaploid wheat genotypes have been examined for RFLPs detected by a β-
amylase probe using three restriction enzymes, and for mature grain β-amylase isozyme …

Methodologies commonly used to detect linkage of marker loci to loci affecting quantitative
traits are discussed. It is shown that variances for the quantitative trait differ among marker …

Electrophoretic variation and inheritance of four novel enzyme systems were studied in
maize (Zea mays L.). A minimum of 10 genetic loci collectively encodes isozymes of …

The implications of using restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) to dissect
quantitative genetic traits are briefly discussed with reference to Paterson et al. 1988 (Nature …

Two maize (Zea mays L.) populations, AS1 (S) and ECR-A, were evaluated for allozyme
frequency changes associated with selection for improved seedling emergence, early …
