Abstract

The inheritance and linkage relationships among PGM-1, ADH-1, and 6-PGDH-1 were determined for Allium fistulosum (Japanese bunching onion) individuals. Individuals expressing Pgm-11/Pgm-12, Adh-13/Adh-14, Adh-13/Adh-15, or 6-Pgdh-11/6-Pgdh-12 were selfed seperately. These backcrosses and their reciprocals were made: Pgm-11/Pgm-12 to Pgm-11/Pgm-11 or Pgm-12/Pgm-12; Adh-13/Adh-14 to Adh-13/Adh-13 or Adh-14/Adh-14, 6-Pgdh-11/6-Pgdh-12 to 6-Pgdh-11/6-Pgdh-11 or 6-Pgdh-12/6-Pgdh-12. Progeny segregations were tested for Mendelian inheritance using a chi-square goodness of fit test. Expression of 6-Pgdh has not been previously reported in onion. Two zones of activity were detected and were designated as 6-PGDH-1 and 6-PGDH-2. 6-PGDH-2 was monomorphic for all individuals tested. Progeny segregation of 6-PGDH-1 fit a model for a dimeric enzyme encoded by one disomic locus with two alleles, expressed as fast (1) and slow (2), in a dimeric enzyme pattern in heterozygous individuals.
