Abstract
The nuclear DNA difference between large (L) and small (S) genotrophs, induced in the flax cv. Stormont Cirrus (PL) was investigated using Feulgen photometry. L and S genotrophs were crossed, respectively, to the PL genotype and the parental, and F1 generations were grown in greenhouse (T1) and field (T2) temperatures. The DNA values show increased reversion in the crosses, compared with the parents at T1 and less reversion in the crosses, than in the parents at T2. More reversion occurs in the PL maternal crosses than in the PL paternal crosses and the PL genotroph possess a nuclear and a cytoplasmic factor which plays a direct part in determining nuclear DNA changes in the chromosomes of the stable genotype.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
