Table 2.

Progeny Segregation after Reciprocal Crosses of Wild-Type and TCTP/tctp Plants

Cross (♀ × ♂) Wild Typea TCTP/tctpa χ2 (1:1)b
TCTP/TCTP × TCTP/tctp 496 (93.2%) 36 (6.8%) 397.74c
TCTP/tctp × TCTP/TCTP 290 (53.2%) 255 (46.8%) 2.25d

Transmission of the tctp mutant allele through the female gametophyte is unaffected, whereas transmission through the male gametophyte is greatly impaired.

a

Number of Basta-sensitive (wild type) and resistant (TCTP/tctp) plants.

b

χ2 values for a Mendelian 1:1 ratio.

c

χ2(1/0,001) = 10.823.

d

χ2(1/0,1) = 2.71.
