Pollen Colour

Two pollen colours are found in the genus Carthamus, namely, white and yellow. Pollen colour has been used to differentiate between species belonging to different sections particularly tetraploid and hexaploid species. A hypothetical model is suggested to explain the inheritance of this character in interspecific hybrids. It seems that pollen colour is governed by a single locus with three alleles.

Linkage Relationships

Single spore derived Pleurotus spp. isolates from four commercial lines (two P. sapidus, one P. florida, and one P. ostreatus) and from two interspecific hybrids (P. sajor-caju × P. sapidus) were analyzed for single locus and joint segregation of 25 allozyme encoding loci. The two alleles at the individual loci departed significantly in their segregation from a 1:1 Mendelian ratio in 26% of the intraspecific and 29% of the interspecific tests. Six linkage groups were identified as follows: Dia-1 ~ Est-5; Tpi ~ Pgd-2 ~ Skdh; (Fum) ~ Pgm-2 ~ Pgd-1 ~ PepLgg-1 ~ Gr-2; Ndh ~ Gr-1; Np ~ PepGl-1 ~ Aat-2 ~ Pgk ~ Mup; and Gr-4 ~ Mdh-1. The duplicate loci coding for GR, PEP-LGG, PGM, and PGD were both not linked to each other and not part of duplicate linkage groups. Six loci were not shown to be linked to any other loci (Lap, Pgm-1, Ha, Gpi, PepPap, and PepLgg-2), although the latter two loci were only tested against four and five loci, respectively. The first linkage map of 19 allozyme encoding loci for the Pleurotus genome is presented.Key words: Pleurotus, allozymes, linkage map, inheritance, edible fungi.
