Abstract
An F1 plant fromSecale cereale ssp.ancestrale xtelocentric substitution lines3R of the cultivated rye “Petkus spring” was used as female in a cross with the inbred line Riodeva (I28), which has the standard chromosome arrangement. Single plants from this backcross progeny were analyzed for chromosome constitution, storage protein, and isozymic patterns. The seed protein loci were identified asSec-1a andSec-1b loci controlling 40-Kγ-secalins andω-secalins, respectively. These loci are located on the short arm of chromosome1R. TheSec-3 locus controlling high-molecular-weight secalins is located on the long arm of chromosome1R. A further seed protein locus,Pr-3 (55-K protein), was located on the short arm of chromosome1R. A linkage was found between the6Pgd-2 isozyme locus controlling 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase isozymes located on the long arm of chromosome1R and the four seed protein loci. The results favor the gene order:6Pgd-2 ...Sec-3 ... [centromere] ...Pr-3 ...Sec-1b ...Sec-1a. Other linkages detected werePer-3a andPer-3b (0.33±0.33 cM),Est-8 andEst-12 (0.33±0.33 cM), andGot-3 and centromere (20.57±2.42 cM). The proxidase (Per), glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (Got), and esterase (Est) loci were located on chromosome arms2RS,3RL, and6RL, respectively. The distances and the maps obtained are compared with data available in the literature.
