the Corn Kernel PHILIP A. MiLLER DR. E. G. Anderson of the California Institute of Technology has suggested the use of chromosomal interchanges for investigating the linkage relations of genes conditioning quantitatively inherited characters. The positions of the breaks involved in the interchanges are used as chromosome markers for such studies. The present investigation was undertaken to utilize this technique to provide information on the associations between genes conditioning oil content and points of breakage of chromosomal interchanges.
