The Relationship

Three of the seven chromosomes of rye (Secale cereale L.) 2R, 3R, and 6R have been identified individually by their N-banding pattern. Each of the N-banded chromosomes possesses a single band which is seen as one dot on each chromatid. Although the bands correspond with particular intercalary C-bands, they were found to be different from the remaining C-bands by sequential C- and N-banding analysis and thus reveal the heterogeneity of rye heterochromatin. It is described as C-banding and N-banding positive heterochromatin (C+N+). Similar to wheat and barley, the N-bands in rye appear to correspond to sites of (GAA)m (GAG)n sequence satellite DNA. In chromosome identification, the N-bands can be used as additional markers for the long arm of chromosome 2R (2RL), the short arm of chromosome 3R (3RS), and the long arm of chromosome 6R (6RL).Key words: heterochromatin, nonhistone proteins, banding, wheat–rye addition lines, rye.

Selection Of

Rye (Secale cereale L.) grain with low extract viscosity (EV) and superior kernel characteristics is desired when used in diets of monogastric animals. Knowledge of the relationship between EV and kernel characteristics is needed to develop an efficient selection strategy for breeding cultivars that meet the two criteria. Grains of 11 open-pollinated population varieties/lines grown in 21 environments were studied to determine the relationship between EV and kernel weight (KWT) among genotypes and environmental effects. Grains of eight out of the eleven varieties/lines were screened into five kernel-size categories, <2.0, 2.0–2.4, 2.4–2.8, 2.8–3.2, >3.2 mm in kernel width, to determine the relationship between EV and kernel width within a genotype. EV was a linear function of KWT; high KWT is indicative of low EV. The degree of the relationship was affected by environment. For example, grains grown at Swift Current had a stronger relationship between EV and KWT than those from Lacombe (b = −1.67 vs. −0.31). For the grain from Swift Current, 60% of variability in EV was attributable to KWT, while for the grain from Lacombe only ≈ 20% of variability in EV was explainable by KWT. Among the various kernel-width categories within a genotype, 60 to 98% of variability in EV was attributable to kernel width, with some genotypes responding to a greater degree than others. In development of winter rye cultivars low in extract viscosity, breeders could combine kernel weight/width into the selection strategy to enhance the selection progress or use kernel weight/width as a reference in selection of extract viscosity trait.

Procedures for chromosome analysis and sorting using flow cytometry (flow cytogenetics) were developed for rye (Secale cereale L.). Suspensions of intact chromosomes were prepared by mechanical homogenization of synchronized root tips after mild fixation with formaldehyde. Histograms of relative fluorescence intensity obtained after the analysis of DAPI-stained chromosomes (flow karyotypes) were characterized and the chromosome content of the DNA peaks was determined. Chromosome 1R could be discriminated on a flow karyotype of S. cereale 'Imperial'. The remaining rye chromosomes (2R–7R) could be discriminated and sorted from individual wheat–rye addition lines. The analysis of lines with reconstructed karyotypes demonstrated a possibility of sorting translocation chromosomes. Supernumerary B chromosomes could be sorted from an experimental rye population and from S. cereale 'Adams'. Flow-sorted chromosomes were identified by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with probes for various DNA repeats. Large numbers of chromosomes of a single type sorted onto microscopic slides facilitated detection of rarely occurring chromosome variants by FISH with specific probes. PCR with chromosome-specific primers confirmed the identity of sorted fractions and indicated suitability of sorted chromosomes for physical mapping. The possibility to sort large numbers of chromosomes opens a way for the construction of large-insert chromosome-specific DNA libraries in rye.Key words: chromosome isolation, chromosome sorting, fluorescence in situ hybridization, repetitive DNA sequences, wheat-rye addition lines, B chromosomes, physical mapping.

PCR-based rye (Secale cereale L.) chromosome-specific markers can contribute to the effective utilization of elite genes of rye in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) breeding programs. In the present study, 578 new PCR-based rye-specific markers have been developed by using specific length amplified fragment sequencing (SLAF-seq) technology, and 76 markers displayed different polymorphism among rye Kustro, Imperial, and King II. A total of 427 and 387 markers were, respectively, located on individual chromosomes and chromosome arms of Kustro by using a set of wheat–rye monosomic addition lines and 13 monotelosomic addition lines, which were derived from T. aestivum L. ‘Mianyang11’ × S. cereale L. ‘Kustro’. In addition, two sets of wheat–rye disomic addition lines, which were derived from T. aestivum L. var. Chinese Spring × S. cereale L. var. Imperial and T. aestivum L. ‘Holdfast’ × S. cereale L. var. King II, were used to test the chromosomal specificity of the 427 markers. The chromosomal locations of 281 markers were consistent among the three sets of wheat–rye addition lines. The markers developed in this study can be used to identify a given segment of rye chromosomes in wheat background and accelerate the utilization of elite genes on rye chromosomes in wheat breeding programs.

Three tetraploid triticales were analysed by C-banding techniques in order to establish their chromosome constitutions. All three tetraploid triticales contained seven rye chromosomes with the banding pattern of Secale cereale L. A mixture of A- and B-genome chromosomes from Triticum turgidum L. constituted the wheat genome present in the tetraploid triticales. Triticale Trc 4x3 contained 1A, 2B, 3A, 4A, 5B, 6A, and 7B. Triticale Trc 4x2 contained 1A, 2B, 3B, 4B, 5B, 6A, and 7B, while triticale Trc 4x5 contained 1A, 2B, 3B, 4A, 5A, 6A, and 7B. The reliability of the staining technique is subject to errors in identification, which are discussed.

Seven telotrisomic lines (1RS, 1RL, 2RS, 2RL, 3RS acro, 5RS, and 6RS), two double monotelosomic, and two double ditelosomic lines of Secale cereale cv. Heines Hellkorn were analyzed by means of Giemsa C-banding techniques. In crosses with several wheat–rye chromosome addition lines, the telosomic chromosomes in double ditelosomic lines 1/23 and 3/23 were found to be homologous to chromosomes 1R and 2RL of cv. Imperial rye. The C-banding pattern observed for the telosomes in these lines was similar to that detected in the 1R and 2R telosomics of the corresponding telotrisomic lines.

The Relationship

The relationship between the frequency of aneuploids and blocks of telomeric heterochromatin on rye (Secale cereale L.) chromosomes in a triticale (× Triticosecale Wittmack) background was investigated. Lines with or without blocks of telomeric heterochromatin were examined to determine the percentage of aneuploid progeny. The results showed that the amount of telomeric heterochromatin present on rye chromosomes 4R and 6R had little effect (2%) on lowering the proportion of aneuploids. When rye chromosome pair 2R was replaced by wheat chromosome 2D in the presence of chromosomes 4R and 6R lacking heterochromatin, the percentage of aneuploids increased slightly (2.7%) over that found in the control population.

Secale Cereale L

To test the effect of single rye chromosomes on the pairing of homoeologous wheat chromosomes, the seven wheat-rye addition lines of "Chinese Spring" and "Imperial" were crossed with Secale cereale L. and S. montanum L. In haploid triticale with 28 chromosomes (ABD R) no homoeologous pairing was induced. In the 29-chromosome hybrids, the two homologous rye chromosomes tended to form a rod bivalent indicating a suppressor effect of the wheat genome on chiasma formation between homologous rye chromosomes. Unequivocal evidence for homoeologous pairing of wheat chromosomes was found in several F1 plants. It is suggested that in the rye species Secale cereale and S. montanum the system which suppresses the activity of the Ph locus consists of more than two alleles which may act additively. They may be located on different chromosomes and may differ in number in the same genotype. Alleles effecting homoeologous pairing in wheat seem to be more frequent in S. montanum than in S. cereale. It is possible that in rye exceptionally strong alleles exist for homoeologous pairing.

Allotetraploid Species

Two groups of tandemly repeated DNA fragments have been isolated and cloned from the Oryza officinalis genome (W 1278). These fragments have been sequenced and are 374 and 367 bp long. They were compared with an element previously isolated from another O. officinalis accession. They are 76 and 92% homologous to the latter and show 78% homology between themselves. The two types of elements are interspersed within large blocks of tandemly organized units. Their copy number is in the range of 200 000 units. This sequence was present only in wild rice accessions with a CC genome. However, this apparent specificity is even more restricted, since it was absent from some O. officinalis accessions and from the allotetraploid species of the CCDD type. Use of digestions with 4-bp restriction enzyme cutters and analysis on denaturing polyacrylamide gels revealed polymorphism that might be used to map the repeats in the genome as well as to establish the relationship between accessions. Finally, hybridization of the repeated sequence to DNA prepared from the eight available O. sativa – O. officinalis monosomic addition lines revealed that the elements are located on two alien chromosomes. This suggests that these elements have at least some restricted chromosome specificity.Key words: satellite DNA, rice, monosomic addition lines, RFLP, evolution.
