Is maize B chromosome preferential fertilization controlled by a single gene?

In previous work, genotypes for high and low B chromosome transmission rate were selected from a native race of maize. It was demonstrated that the B transmission is genetically controlled. The present work reports the fourth and fifth generations of selection and the F1 hybrids between the lines. T...
