Six of the possible seven single chromosome addition lines of the wild diploid species A. hirtula to the cultivated oat A. sativa have been identified. The effect of the single hirtula chromosome on the morphology of the recipient A. sativa variety Manod was variable depending on the chromosome involved and certain genes which are dominant at the diploid level were only partly expressed in the hexaploid background.The frequency with which the hirtula chromosomes paired with their equivalent chromosomes in A. sativa was less than that observed in primary trisomics, indicating that the hirtula As genome is only partly homologous with the A genome of the hexaploids. None of the disomic addition lines was sufficiently stable cytologically to maintain the line without the reversion of a proportion of the progeny to the monosomic condition and eventually to the euploid chromosome number of A. sativa.

Overall, 253 genomic wheat (Triticum aestivum) microsatellite markers were studied for their transferability to the diploid species Aegilops speltoides, Aegilops longissima, and Aegilops searsii, representing the S genome. In total, 88% of all the analyzed primer pairs of markers derived from the B genome of hexaploid wheat amplified DNA fragments in the genomes of the studied species. The transferability of simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers of the T. aestivum A and D genomes totaled 74%. Triticum aestivum – Ae. speltoides, T. aestivum – Ae. longissima, and T. aestivum – Ae. searsii chromosome addition lines allowed us to determine the chromosomal localizations of 103 microsatellite markers in the Aegilops genomes. The majority of them were localized to homoeologous chromosomes in the genome of Aegilops. Several instances of nonhomoeologous localization of T. aestivum SSR markers in the Aegilops genome were considered to be either amplification of other loci or putative translocations. The results of microsatellite analysis were used to study phylogenetic relationships among the 3 species of the Sitopsis section (Ae. speltoides, Ae. longissima, and Ae. searsii) and T. aestivum. The dendrogram obtained generally reflects the current views on phylogenetic relationships among these species.Key words: Triticum aestivum, Aegilops speltoides, Aegilops longissima, Aegilops searsii, microsatellite, SSR, chromosome addition lines, phylogeny.

SUMMARYThe zymogram phenotypes of 11 enzymes were determined for 22 Triticum aestivum cv. Chinese Spring-Elytrigia elongata disomic and ditelosomic chromosome addition lines. Eleven isozyme structural genes were located in specific arms of six E. elongata chromosomes, as follows: Gpi-E1 in 1ES, Est-E1 in 3ES, Got-E3 in 3EL, Adh-E1 and Lpx-E1 in 4ES, Adh-E2 and Lpx-E2 in 5EL, Amp-E1 in 6Eα, Adh-E3 and Got-E2 in 6Eβ, and Ep-E1 in 7EL. The E. elongata chromosomes present in five disomic addition lines have previously been designated 1E, 2E, 4E, 6E, and 7E to indicate their homoeology with Chinese Spring chromosomes. The results of this study support these designations. The development of disomic putative 3E and 5E addition lines is reported. The added chromosomes designated IV, V, and VI that are present in three of the seven original disomic T. aestivum-E. elongata addition lines are translocated. Evidence that VL and VIL are opposite arms of 2E and that IV is partially homoeologous to 3E has been published. The results reported in this paper indicate that IVS = 3ES, IVL = 7EL, VS = 3ES, and VIS = 5ES and are consistent with VL and VIL being opposite arms of 2E. The synteny relationships of the 11 E. elongata isozyme genes identified in this study are fully consistent with those of homoeologous T. aestivum cv. Chinese Spring genes and thus provide evidence that the gene synteny groups which these two species inherited from their common ancestor are conserved. This study further documents the valuable role that studies of isozyme genes can play in the isolation, characterization, and maintenance of alien chromosomes, telosomes, and chromosomal segments in wheat strains.

Nine of the 14 possible single chromosome addition lines of the tetraploid species Aegilops variabilis Eig. (CuCuSvSv) to Triticum aestivum L. cv. Chinese Spring (AA BB DD) have been isolated and identified. The nine Aegilops variabilis addition lines were compared with the available addition lines of Aegilops umbellulata (CuCu) and Aegilops longissima (SvSv) to further elucidate the relationship between these two diploids and the tetraploid Aegilops variabilis. Differences were observed between the same chromosomes isolated from the diploid and the tetraploid and discussed. After taking into account banding pattern polymorphisms, Aegilops umbellulata was confirmed as the donor of the Cu genome, and evidence indicated that Aegilops longissima probably is the donor of the other genome (Sv) in the tetraploid Aegilops variabilis.

SUMMARYThe possibility of using Hordeum bulbosum Crosses to facilitate production of disomic wheat–barley addition lines from monosomic additions was investigated. Aneuhaploids with 22 chromosomes were obtained in the expected gametic frequencies after crossing monosomic, disomio and monotelo-disomic addition lines, involving four different barley chromosomes, as the female parent with tetraploid H. bulbosum. Thus the added barley chromosomes were not eliminated when preferential elimination of the bulbosum chromosomes took place in the hybrid embryos. Disomic addition lines were obtained after treating the aneuhaploids with colchicine. This method could have wider application in the production of other wheat–alien chromosome disomic addition lines, especially where the transmission frequency of the alien chromosome through the pollen is very low, but its use will depend on the wheat parent being crossarle with H. bulbosum and the alien chromosome being retained during the elimination of bulbosum chromosomes.

Ten genome-specific probes were developed from Brassica napus and B. oleracea genomic DNA libraries. Selection was based on polymorphism between and limited variation within genomes, permitting their localization on six individual C-genome chromosomes. Chromosome assignment was accomplished by using two sets of B. campestris – oleracea alien addition lines derived from (i) B. napus and (ii) the artificially synthesized B. napus 'Hakuran'. The presence of shared fragments between A, B, and C genomes indicates partial homology of the three genomes. However, several genome-specific markers could separate these three genomes. Genome-specific clones developed in this study served to confirm the parental diploid species originating the three amphidiploids, B. napus, B. carinata, and B. juncea. At least one clone suggests that B. napus has a polyphyletic origin. These clones were also useful to confirm the close evolutionary proximity among wild species in the B. oleracea cytodeme; however, no clear trends were found to suggest specific wild ancestors for the different B. oleracea horticultural types. Brassica oxyrrhina was distinct from other n = 9 species with most clones tested.Key words: restriction fragment length polymorphism, DNA marker, chromosome addition lines, Brassica oleracea cytodeme, amphidiploids, genome-specific markers.

Abstract In maize (Zea mays L., 2n = 2x = 20), map-based cloning and genome organization studies are often complicated because of the complexity of the genome. Maize chromosome addition lines of hexaploid cultivated oat (Avena sativa L., 2n = 6x = 42), where maize chromosomes can be individually manipulated, represent unique materials for maize genome analysis. Maize chromosome addition lines are particularly suitable for the dissection of a single maize chromosome using radiation because cultivated oat is an allohexaploid in which multiple copies of the oat basic genome provide buffering to chromosomal aberrations and other mutations. Irradiation (gamma rays at 30, 40, and 50 krad) of a monosomic maize chromosome 9 addition line produced maize chromosome 9 radiation hybrids (M9RHs)—oat lines possessing different fragments of maize chromosome 9 including intergenomic translocations and modified maize addition chromosomes with internal and terminal deletions. M9RHs with 1 to 10 radiation-induced breaks per chromosome were identified. We estimated that a panel of 100 informative M9RHs (with an average of 3 breaks per chromosome) would allow mapping at the 0.5- to 1.0-Mb level of resolution. Because mapping with maize chromosome addition lines and radiation hybrid derivatives involves assays for the presence or absence of a given marker, monomorphic markers can be quickly and efficiently mapped to a chromosome region. Radiation hybrid derivatives also represent sources of region-specific DNA for cloning of genes or DNA markers.
