This study was initiated to determine the chromosomal location of the grandpa (gp) gene within the barley genome. The gp gene was placed on the long arm of chromosome 2 as indicated by linkage association with liguleless (li).Tests of allelism showed the gp gene to the allelic with the gp-2 gene. Seven sources of "yellow" chlorophyll mutants when crossed to grandpa plants gave albino double recessive seedlings. Three other sources of "yellow" chlorophyll mutants in the double recessive combination with grandpa exhibited yellow and white bands on the leaves. Double recessive individuals carrying the mottled (mt2) and grandpa genes were also albino. This is evidence of gene interactions between chlorophyll mutant genes.
