Abstract

This study deals with the polygenic modifying systems of a specific recombinant SD chromosome. By recombining this chromosome with a multiply marked homologue and by testing the subsequent SD and non-SD bearing recombinant chromosomes in both cis and trans configurations, it has been possible to grossly localize major modifiers of distortion. These are located between the loci of cinnabar⁺and curved⁺, as well as between curved⁺and plexus⁺. It has been further shown that some of these enhancers produce significant effects only when present in coupling with the SD locus.
