โฆ Synopsis
In an intervarietal cross between IR 8 and Wanar 1, inheritance of pigmentation in coleoptile, leafsheath, auricle, node, internode, septum and glume was studied . A pleiotropic gene conditioning pigment in all these parts has been identified which may probably be one of the basic genes for anthocyanin pigmentation . A linkage group consisting of genes causing pigment in these seven organs has been indicated in this sequence : Pau-Pc-Pn-Psh-Pin-Pg-Pm. This group may form part of the III 'Sp' group of Misao et al. (1966) (corresponding to the `A' linkage group of japonica) in which case Pau, Pc, Pn and Pg are additions to this group . Linkage relationship of genes for coleoptile colour is reported for the first time .
