“…Jones (1964) reported that in meiotic analyses of A. odoratum, quadrivalent pairing was prevalent, with some associations of six, eight or ten chromosomes. Dessureaux (1959) has shown from a simulation of a one gene model of a diallel analysis in an autotetraploid that the regression of Wr or Vr is curvilinear and not of unit slope. In our experiment the regression of Wr on Vr did not depart significantly from unit slope, and disomic segregation is therefore assumed for zinc tolerance.…”

SUMMARYThe genetics of zinc tolerance in Anthoxanthum odoratum was examined using the technique of pair crosses, and diallel analysis. Evidence is presented that the genetic control of zinc tolerance is (a) dominant and directional, (b) under a polygenic control system probably with a small number of loci involved, (c) not under any maternal influence. The parents have been shown to be highly heterozygous.

“…With complete dominance, however, the value of the simplex genotype becomes m when it would be expected to become m + d (= m + h), so this scheme has a serious shortcoming. Dessureaux (1959) He showed the effect of this was to give the triplex and simplex genotypes values of…”

“…These tests are A = P1+P1-2fl1 B = P2+F1-22 of Mather (1949) Hill (1966) Using the special definition of Dessureaux (1959), three of these tests-the A, B11 and B12-are satisfactory even with double reduction. Nevertheless, the reliability of these scaling tests depends on the definition of the parameters being satisfactory, which is open to doubt.…”
