Rhoades was Schwartz's Ph.D. supervisor at Columbia and later at the University of Illinois.
Rhoades also participated in the collection and maintenance of seed stocks and later was primarily responsible for moving the stock center to its present location at the University of Illinois.
Rhoades delighted in informing students that the meiotic drive aspect was discovered in his Arlington, Virginia, USDA plot "on which the Pentagon now stands." Due to the findings of Rhoades this work remains one of the best explained systems of meiotic drive.

 Barbara McClintock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During her graduate studies and her postgraduate appointment as a botany instructor, McClintock was instrumental in assembling a group that studied the new field of cytogenetics in maize.
Marcus Rhoades noted that McClintock's 1929 Genetics paper on the characterization of triploid maize chromosomes triggered scientific interest in maize cytogenetics, and attributed to his female colleague 10 of the 17 significant advances in the field that were made by Cornell scientists between 1929 and 1935.
In the summer of 1941 she took a leave of absence from Missouri to visit Columbia University, where her Cornell colleague Marcus Rhoades was a professor.

 The Maize Genetics Cooperation Stock Center
Marcus M. Rhoades was asked to serve as custodian of the Maize Genetics Cooperation and was therefore the first secretary of the Maize Genetics Cooperation * Newsletter (present secretary is Ed Coe, USDA/ARS & University of Missouri-Columbia) and the first director of the Maize Genetics Cooperation * Stock Center.
In 1953, Marcus Rhoades and Earl Patterson moved the collection of maize stocks from Cornell University to the University of Illinois in Urbana.
We have obtained stocks from the collections of Marcus Rhoades, George Sprague, Barbara McClintock, and Donald Robertson, and are in the process of obtaining stocks from the collections of Charles Burnham and Walton Galinat.

Indeed, the Rhoades mutation cited in Stebbin's volume illustrates the important point that instability is conditional.
Rhoades' experiments had revealed that a standard recessive allele of the maize A1 locus, isolated decades earlier and in wide use as a stable null allele, could become unstable in a different genetic background.
McClintock and Rhoades were good friends, of course, and it is evident from their correspondence that McClintock immediately saw the parallels between the behavior of the c-m1 mutation and Rhoades' a1 mutation (Lee Kass, personal communication).
