Further Analysis of Oenothera biennis Populations for Incompatibility Alleles

The Incompatibility Mechanism of the Biennis Group I Races of Oenothera.

EARLY all of the North American euoenotheras east of the Rocky Mountains Nremain heterozygous generation after generation even though they have the self-pollinating habit. A specialized cytogenetic mechanism involving multiple reciprocal translocations and a balanced lethal system accounts for this paradox. These Oenotheras possess 14 chromosomes of which each set of seven, because of reciproca...

Genic Heterozygosity and Protein Polymorphism among Local Populations of OENOTHERA BIENNIS.

Twenty enzyme loci were studied in 44 Illinois populations of Oenothera biennis; four were polymorphic. Most of the variation was distributed between populations. Fifty-nine percent of the populations had one genotype, 27% two genotypes and the remaining 16% from three to five genotypes; the average was 1.50. The proportion of genetic diversity present in single populations is.38 of that presen...

The Genetics of Self-Incompatibility in Oenothera Organensis.

ENOTHERA organensis is endemic to the Organ Mountains of 0 southern New Mexico where the entire population apparently consists of considerably less than one thousand individuak2 The morphology of the seeds indicates a relationship to members of the subgenus Oenothera (sometimes called Onagra), but the growth habit and ovule placentation resemble types belonging to the subgenus Raimannia (the Eu...
