| Abstract: | Lc, an anthocyanin pigmenting factor mapping somewhat more than one unit distal to R, is borne on a chromosomal segment which is homologous with part of the R-r:standard duplicated segment. Deficiencies and tandem duplications of the R to Lc region arise from exchanges within these obliquely paired homologous segments. The deficiencies are transmitted with a high, although reduced, frequency by the male gametophyte and are homozygous viable. Yet, the R to Lc region is not duplicated either proximal to R or distal to Lc. Thus the Lc-marked segment and either the P- or the S-marked segment of R-r constitute a displaced duplication. Such an arrangement can initiate a tandem and displaced duplication cycle.———No evidence was obtained for fractionation of the compound phenotype conditioned by Lc. |
