Abstract
The variety previously classified as H intermedium nudihaxtoni was found to be a 6-rowed barley which differed from ordinary 6-rowed varieties by a factor for the reduction of lateral spikelet appendages, i.e., awns in this case It is fully fertile The normal versus reduced lateral spikelet appendage (Lr, lr) factor pair is inherited as a single-factor difference Normal was dominant over reduced appendages (hoods or awns) in the crosses studied. Normal appendages on the lateral spikelets occur only in the presence of the factor for 6-row (vv). The interrelationship of this factor pair with that for green vs. orange seedlings (Or, or) located in group 1 indicates a linkage with a recombination value of 38-58 +/- 1.20% as determined from the F2 genotypes. The normal vs. reduced (Lr,lr) factor pair was found to be inherited independently of factors known to be located in the other six linkage groups.
