Genetic analysis of four interchanges in barley cultivar K 12 was carried out to locate the breakpoints in chromosome arms, utilizing F2 data. T 2-6 was located in the long arm of chromosome 2 and short arm of chromosome 6 while T 6-7 was located in the long arm of the two chromosomes. T 3-7 was placed in the short arm of the two chromosomes. Location of breakpoint in T 2-4 was in the short arm of chromosome 2. Average ovule sterility in inter-change heterozygotes was found to be 28.7%.
