Abstract
Following several years of vigorous communication with co-workers in maize, Emerson et al. (1935) presented the first comprehensive maps, linkage data, and genetic descriptions for maize. Sharing of data and stocks, i.e., maize genetics cooperation, enabled M.M. Rhoades to construct the first linkage maps (Emerson et al., p. 71). These maps included phenotypic variants and a few reciprocal translocations. One pest resistance gene (rpl, resistance to Puccinia sorghi) had been placed to chromosome arm by deletion analysis, but no biochemically defined loci were yet identified. Accretion of sixty years of data on the 1935 foundation is reflected in the genetic linkage maps in Mutants of Maize (Neuffer et al. 1997).
