Table 5. Exact test for goodness of fit of observed (d)CAPS marker segregation to a 27:9:9:9:3:3:3:1 ratio expected from disomic inheritance of three unlinked gene loci vs a 147:69:69:69:15:15:15:1 ratio expected from polysomic inheritance of six randomly segregating gene loci, assuming that there is no chromatid segregation (no double reduction).

Abbreviation: dCAPS, derived cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence.

Observations were made among progeny plants derived from a self-pollinated parent plant containing 1781, 2078 and 2088 mutations (A, B and C, respectively). In the disomic model, the parent would be heterozygous for each mutation (AaBbCc × AaBbCc). In the polysomic model, the parent would have all three mutations plus three wild-type alleles (ABCwww × ABCwww). Wild-type alleles are designated a, b or c in the disomic model and w in the polysomic model, and P is probability.
