title: Genetic variation and joint segregation of biochemical loci in the common meadow mushroom, Agaricus campestris.
abstract: In this paper we report the results of an electrophoretic examination of genetic variation in the common meadow mushroom, Agaricus campestris. An examination of variability at 10 biochemical loci in a single natural population revealed an average heterozygosity of 0.281. Mendelian segregation was verified for 13 loci in single-spore-derived lines from individual sporophores. One linkage was found (Gpt-2 with Pep-GL-1, r = 0.065) among 47 pairwise examinations for joint segregation.
