Genetic Analyses of Two Abdominal Bristle Selection Lines

Abstract

Chromosome substitution was done among two increased abdominal bristle selection lines representing high and moderate levels of response [designated 20( 10%)a and 1O(10%)c respectively] and their base population. The resulting stocks were measured in four environments. This made it possible to obtain a minimum inter-pretation of intrachromosomal differences by using the physiological ploy of separating effects by demonstrating an interaction with environmental treatments.
