Abstract

Information on inheritance of isozymes and linkage maps in Trifolium pratense L is limited. Genetic analysis of 18 isozyme systems and three morphological traits (white vs. pink flower, present vs. absent leaf marker and green vs. sun-red stem) was conducted. Six loci of four isozymes had simple Mendelian inheritance. Joint segregation analyses among 8 isozyme loci and 3 morphological gene markers (55 pair-wise combinations) resulted in the assignment of one linkage group. Two morphological markers coding for flower (c) and stem (gs) color were found to be in the same linkage group based on the analyses of two segregating families. The recombination values of the two progenies for c-gs were 0.079 and 0.113. No linkage was found between any of the isozyme loci and the morphological traits.
