Genetic analysis of a cross-pollinated species, Secale Cereale L., for the character with polymorphic genetic basis

Cytology and Genetics 2004, v 38, number 3, 29-37

Theoretical basis and an algorithm of calculations for frequencies of genes and genotypes in the population of species with obligate cross-pollination under assessment for the character of polymorphic genetic basis are proposed. Use of four rye populations and the F₁ and F₂ from their crossings allows to determine genetic control of b-amylase spectrum through identification of two genes, establishment of the allele number in each gene, and showing the linkage between b-Amy-1 and the gene for self-incompatibility S2.
