'Maintenance of Tribolium Stock Center'.

Abstract

This contract helped to maintain the collection of mutant, inbred, and synthetic stocks in all available species of the flour beetles of the genus Tribolium, particularly Tribolium castaneum and T. confusum. Ancillary efforts have been made to determine the mode of inheritance and allelism of several mutations found in 'natural' populations of T. confusum in Yugoslavia; and linkage relationships of 'extra large' mutant found in Georgia; in the same species. The map position of the genes 'black', 'light ocular diaphragm aureate' has been determined in T. castaneum. Sex differences in recombination, attributed to modifiers, have been observed in linkage group III of this flour beetle.
