Genetics of two storage protein variants in barley

Abstract

The Bomi and Sultan varieties have different co-dominant alleles at one locus on chromosome 5 controlling the electrophoretic pattern of one group of hordeins. This locus is hypostatic to the recessive allele in Risø mutant 1508, which suppresses the formation of these and some other hordeins. The two loci appear to be unlinked.
