title: New Mutations and a 7-Chromosome Linkage Map of SCHIZOPHYLLUM COMMUNE.
abstract: Forty-eight useful new mutations of S. commune were obtained by mutagenesis with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine. Their requirements and meiotic linkage relationships to each other and previously mapped areas were investigated. Several of these new mutations were incorporated into diploid strains so that the diploids contained at least one marker on every linkage group. Analysis of somatic recombination in these diploids indicated that each meiotic linkage group corresponded to an independent chromosome.
