Abstract
One of the best pieces of work on the variability of crossing-over among male and female gametes is that of L. J. Stadler (102) on Zea mays. The chromosome regions which he studied were C-Sh-Wx (C affects aleurone colour in the presence of certain other genes; Sh affects the degree of shrinkage of the endosperm at maturity; Wx affects the chemical composition of the endosperm). The c.o.v.’s as extensively studied by Kempton (1919) and Hutchinson (1922) were 3.5 for the region C-Sh and 21.88 for the region Sh-Wx.
