The SUP4 tRNA Tyr locus in Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been studied by the isolation and characterization of mutations at the SUP4 gene which result in the loss of suppressor function. Most of the mutations act as single-site mutations, whereas about a third of the mutations are deletions of the entire gene. Two meiotic fine-structure maps of the gene were made. The first mapping technique placed 10 mutations plus the sup4 + anticodon on a map by a measurement of levels of recombination between pairs of mutations. The second map utilized a more qualitative estimate of recombination frequency, allowing 69 mutations and the sup4 + anticodon to be mapped. The maps were compared with the physical structure of the gene for the 34 mutations whose nucleotide alteration has been determined by DNA sequencing (Koski et al., Cell 22 :415-425, 1980; Kurjan et al., Cell 20 :701-709, 1980). Both maps show a good correlation with the physical structure of the gene, even though certain properties of genetic fine-structure maps, such as marker effects and “map expansion,” were seen.

SUMMARYNon-germinating gibberellin (GA) responsive mutants are a powerful tool to study genetic fine structure in higher plants. Nine alleles (EMS-and fast neutron-induced) of the ga-1 locus of Arabidopsis thaliana were tested in a complete half-diallel. No wild type ‘recombinants’ were found in the selfed progeny of 9 homoallelic combinations (in total 3 × 105 plants); in the progenies from the 36 selfed hetero allelics the wild type frequency ranged from zero to 6·6 × 10−4. These frequencies allowed the construction of an internally consistent map for five different sites representing eight alleles. The ninth allele covered three sites and thus behaved like an intragenic deletion. The estimate of the total genetic length of the ga-1 locus was 0·07 cM. The order of the sites was also clearly reflected by the association with proximal outside markers. On the assumption that wild type gametes predominantly arise from reciprocal events, it was shown that a cross-over within the ga-1 locus leads to positive interference in the adjacent region.The results are discussed with respect to the mutagen used, the frequencies found in other plant and Drosophila genes, and the possible occurrence of gene conversion.
