Abstract

Golden (g), a spontaneous mutation affecting scale color in the Indianmeal moth, Plodia interpunctelia (Hubner), is described. The golden gene is a simple Mendelian autosomal recessive. In affected moths the normal coppery red color of scales covering most of the body and lorewings is completely absent; instead, these scales are gold or ochre yellow. Golden showed complete penetrance and no linkage to any of the previously described autosomal recessive mu tants, white-eye, chestnut—eye, or copper. Golden was Incompletely hypostatic to the sex-linked recessive gene, melanic, and was noninteractive with copper. The aulosomal dominant gene R (rnalathion resistance) is not linked to any of the above—mentioned markers.
