New theory has recently been developed for two-locus models. In the light of this theory, an earlier analysis of esterase allozyme data from an experimental barley population has been modified to take proper account of initial gametic phase (linkage) disequilibria. The results show that the directions in which two-locus genotypic frequencies deviated from products of one-locus frequencies in this population followed those predicted by neutral descent theory. The observed departures were, however, much larger in size than predicted by the new descent measure theory, indicating that selection is operating in the population.
