Chromosomes Involved in a Series of Interchanges in Maize

Abstract

Fourteen chromosomal interchanges were isolated from x-rayed maize. Intercrosses with known interchanges, linkage and cyto-logical identification were used to determine the chromosomes involved in these interchanges. The chromosomes interchanged are as follows: 5.6, 2.9, 4.5, 3.9, 1.10, 4.8, 3.5, 6.9, 2.6, 4.5, 2.10, 3.7, 5.7, 3.8.
