母性影响遗传基因由于其杂交后代的表型受母本基因型的影响, 而不能直接反映当代个体的基因型, 这给连锁定位测交亲本(三隐性或双隐性系统)的培育带来困难, 从而影响这类基因的定位研究。设计了一套杂交培育方案, 其核心是使母性影响遗传基因先纯合, 再使非母性影响遗传基因纯合。采用所设计的方案, 成功培育了家蚕第13连锁群的赤蚁(ch)、无鳞毛翅(nlw, 新突变)和褐色卵t (b-t, 母性影响遗传)的三隐性系统, 并培育了第19连锁群的狭胸(nb)和第二肾形卵(ki-2, 母性影响遗传, 待定位突变基因)的双隐性系统。

Since the phenotypes of hybrid progenies involving genes with maternal effects are affected by the genotype of female parent, they cannot reflect the genotypes of individuals. This makes it difficult to develop test cross parents (triple or double recessive lines) for linkage localization and, consequently, hinders the progress in localization researches for these types of genes. In this study, we designed a set of hybridization schemes, the key of which was to make the “maternal-effect” genes homozygous at first, and then the non-maternal-effect genes. Using this scheme, we successfully produced a triple recessive line for genes ch (chocolate), nlw (non-lepis wing) and b-t (maternal brown egg of Tsujitan) on the 13th linkage group and a double recessive line for genes nb (narrow breast) and ki-2 (kidney-shaped egg 2) on the 19th linkage group of Bombyx mori.
