Abstract
Three dihaploids of Solanum tuberosum (two self-compatible, one self-incompatible) were found to be heterozygous for a monogenic recessive virescent mutant. Intercrossing resulted in the expected 3 : 1 ratio only in crosses involving one self-compatible and one self-incompatible parent. Self-compatible x self-compatible matings produced F1's in which 6:1 was found. The same ratio was observed in the self progeny of the two self-compatible dihaploids. This significant deviation could be explained by assuming linkage (25% crossing-over) between v and an S-bearing translocation. This translocation causes self-compatibility in the dihaploids used and early lethality when homozygous.
