Abstract
Linkage estimates among 15 isoenzyme and three seed protein loci in barley (Hordeum vulgare) placed two loci on chromosome 1, three on chromosome 4, eight on chromosome 5, and five on chromsome 6. The markers provided a test of the theory of segmental lengths and residual background genome retention under backcrossing. The backcross lines were from the cultivar Clipper, and each was homozygous for an allozyme variant introduced from wild barley (H. spontaneum). The lines were unselected for their genotype at the hordein loci Hor1, Hor2, and Hor3, all on chromosome 5. Among 68 lines selected for allozyme markers not on chromosome 5, 12 still possessed H. spontaneum hordeins at one or more of the three hordein loci, whereas among eight line selected for chromosome 5 markers, four possessed H. spontaneum hordeins.
