IV. 19. Coordinator's report: The genetic male sterile barley collection.

E. A. Hockett, Western Region AR-SEA-USDA and Plant and Soil Science Department, Montana State University, Bozeman, Montana 59717, U.S.A.

Two mutants were found allelic with previously numbered loci (Table 1). The selfing and segregation behavior of msg24j and msg24at was reported in 1971 (1) and 1972 (2), respectively.

Table 1. Ratios of fertile to male sterile F1 plants from crosses of genes determined to be allelic.

Three new mutants were assigned symbols as follows: msg,,ec in Hector, msg,,ed and msg,,ee in Ingrid. About 180 sterile stocks from C. A. Foster, Aberystwyth, Wales, UK were grown at Bozeman in 1980 and will be reported on and assigned symbols in future reports.
