The H2Lc2 linkage region from G. tomentosum was transferred through seven successive backcrosses to G. barbadense and G. hirsutum race punctatum in which these species were used as bulk female recurrent parents. In the last backcross, BC 7, reciprocal crosses were also made. Recombination values diminished with progressive backcrossing. Other workers have shown that values of the order of 20·0% within the pure species were to be expected. In BC 7 joint estimates for punctatum were 0·9% and 0·0% as female and male respectively; the corresponding estimates for barbadense were 5·0% and 20·1%.

Selective elimination of the donor gene H2 on transference to punctatum was observed in all backcrosses, causing disturbance to the expected 1:1 backcross ratio. Disturbance of a different order was recorded for the segment H2Lc2 transferred to barbadense. When the heterozygote H2Lc2/h2Lc2 was male and barbadense (h2lc2/h2lc2) female 50% of the H2Lc2 gametes were lost and a 1:2 backcross ratio was observed instead of the expected 1:1. The 1:1 ratio was restored when the heterozygote was the female parent. The lethal interaction of the H2Lc2tomentosum segment with an inhibitor IB from barbadense was postulated.

Differences in the reaction of the genotypes of G. barbadense and G. hirsutum race punctatum to the introgression of H2Lc2 from G. tomentosum were discussed in terms of evolutionary divergence of the species.
