Summary
1. Four sets of factors are described inAquilegia vulgaris:
B | b | blue/pink flower colour | |
C | c | tall/compact habit | |
L | l | blue/purple flower colour | |
A | a w | a | whole colour/white face/white flower |
2. cla are linked in that order, the recombination percentages being:
cl | 4·286±0·867 |
la | 13·095±1·695 |
ca | 15·235±1·468 |
3.B, b is independent of the linkage group. Doubleness also is normally independent of it, but is completely linked withc in one family, a cytological abnormality being suspected.
