Charcoal, (Chr), an autosomal dominant with recessive lethal effects is located in linkage group III in Tribolium castaneum (Herbst). Its map position has been determined in respect to aureate (au), light ocular diaphragm (lod) and black (b). The distances between the various genes vary, depending on the sex of the cross. The Chr ++/+ lod au ♂ × +lod au/+lod au ♀ crosses give the following recombination values: au-lod = 22.19 ±.42%, Chr-lod = 20.03 ±.40% and Chr-au = 41.28 ±.49%. The reciprocal crosses give au-lod 28.08 ±.45%, Chr-lod = 17.67 ±.38% and Chr-au = 44.11 ±.50%. For the larger distances encompassed by the Chr-au region the recombination values in the two sexes were not significantly different. For the shorter distances the recombination values were significantly higher in the males than in the females in the au-lod region. They were not found to be significantly different in the Chr-lod region probably because of difficulty in identifying lod and non-lod beetles in the presence of Chr. Tests of allelism indicate that Chr and black b are pseudoalleles which recombine at a different rate in the two sexes. Chr +/+b ♂ × +b/+b ♀ gave 0.07% recombinants, while the reciprocal cross gave 0.014% recombinants, a significant difference. The data suggest that the order of the genes in this linkage group is Chr - b - lod - au.

Number Of Segments

Data are presented to show the linkage relationships of a number of genes in linkage group II of Tribolium castaneum and a revised map of this linkage group is presented bearing eight well-established points. Some of these points were establishable with the aid of an accidental inversion induced by gamma irradiation. Five additional mutants are also in this linkage group as a result of the revision, but their relative position needs to be established through additional linkage studies. The linkage map suggests the presence of two gene clusters, one affecting the eye color and morphology and the other including homeotic mutants that affect the morphology of the maxillary and labial palps, the thorax, and the abdominal sternites. Data are presented to show that the frequency of recombination for a number of segments in linkage group II is not equal in the two sexes. The literature bearing on the evolution of the karyotype in Tribolium is reviewed, and it is concluded, on the basis of the present evidence, that it is linkage group II and not linkage group IX that became translocated to the X and Y chromosome in a T. castaneum like ancestor to produce the much larger neo-X and neo-Y chromosomes of T. confusum. Key words: Tribolium, linkage, gamma irradiation.

The relative position of the genes black (b), light ocular diaphragm (lod) and aureate (au) for the third linkage group of T. castaneum (Herbst) (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae) has been determined as b – lod – au. The distances between the various genes vary, depending on the cross. The b++/+ lod au ♂ × + lod au/+ lod au ♀ crosses give the following recombination values: au – lod = 18.32 ± 1.21%; b – lod = 21.05 ± 1.51% and b – au = 37.43 ± 1.27%. The reciprocal crosses give au – lod = 27.67 ± 1.62%; b – lod = 13.97 ± 1.26% and b – au = 39.79 ± 1.78%. For the larger distances encompassed in the b – au region the recombination values in the two sexes were not significantly different. For the shorter b – lod region the recombination values were significantly larger in the females than in the males, while for the adjacent lod – au region the opposite was true. On the basis of the current literature it would appear that the main factors contributing to these sex differences in recombination are the modifiers which are different in the genetic background of the two sexes.

Dominant Mutants

Reindeer (Rd) is a dominant mutation affecting antenna morphology in the tenebrionid flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum. In contrast with most dominant mutants previously described for this species, homozygotes are fully viable, thus making Rd very useful for genetic studies. Rd is tentatively assigned to either linkage group IX or X. Abbreviated appendages (aa), formerly placed in linkage group X, is reassigned to linkage group V on the basis of demonstrated linkage to jet (j).Key words: Tribolium, mutation Rd, linkage, antenna morphology.

Dominant Mutant

Reindeer (Rd), an autosomal dominant mutant in the flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum, is located in linkage group IX. Recombination between Rd and alate prothorax occurs more frequently in males than in females. Linkage group IX appears to be the third linkage group for which recombination frequency is greater in males for one region and in females for another region of the chromosome.Key words: Tribolium, linkage.
