Agropyron Caninum

Hybrids were obtained by pollinating Hordeum vulgare cv. Betzes with Agropyron caninum (4x) and A. dasystachyum (4x) at frequencies of 1.4 and 6.1% of pollinated florets, respectively. The hybrids were sterile and phenotypically resembled the paternal parent, except for floret structure which was intermediate between the parental types. Chromosome pairing at meiosis was very low and thus provided no indication of homoeology between parental genomes. Abnormal meiotic chromosome behavior in meiocytes that occurred in sectors on the 'Betzes' × A. dasystachyum hybrid was attributed to abnormal spindle fibre function.Key words: intergeneric hybrids, Hordeum vulgare, Agropyron caninum, Agropyron dasystachyum.

Meiotic Analyses

The use of telocentric chromosomes in the analysis of the genomic relationships of wheat Triticum aestivum L. em Thell. and its relatives is described and 20 examples are given. The connection between this method of analysis and other mathematical theories of chromosome pairing in hybrids is established. A demonstration of the validity of the assumption that all chromosome arms pair at an equal frequency in calculating expected meiotic analyses is presented. This establishes a practical basis for the development of further mathematical models for predicting meiotic chromosome behavior. Numerical values of the genomic relationships of wheat and its immediate relatives are given.

Slender Wheatgrass

Intergeneric hybrids between cultivated barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) (2n = 2x = 14) and slender wheatgrass (Elymus trachycaulus (Link) Gould ex Shinners), PI 531691 (2n = 4x = 28), were produced. This slender wheatgrass accession carries resistance to Russian wheat aphid, Diuraphis noxia Mordvilko, and was used as pollen parent. The seven hybrid plants were also resistant to Russian wheat aphid. The hybrids were produced at a frequency of 0.21% of emasculated and hand-pollinated florets. Chromosome pairing in all the euploid hybrids was very low (average chiasma frequency per cell, 0.30). This indicates that the I genome from H. vulgare is remotely related to the SH genomes of E. trachycaulus. Expression of resistance to Russian wheat aphid in all the hybrid plants demonstrates that the nuclear gene or genes for insect resistance contributed by E. trachycaulus are either dominant or hemizygous effective. Five of the seven hybrid plants were vigorous and produced well-developed flowering spikes; however, they did not shed viable pollen. Since all the vegetatively cloned plants of these hybrids exhibited a high degree of perennial characteristics and could be induced to flower under a favourable light and temperature regime, they appear congenial for chromosome doubling and backcrossing. Preliminary observations suggest that successful backcrossing could be achieved using the F1 hybrids as pistillate parent and H. vulgare as pollen parent.Key words: Russian wheat aphid resistance, intergeneric hybrids, genomic relationship, chromosome pairing, Hordeum vulgare, Elymus trachycaulus.

Reciprocal Hybrids

Triticum aestivum cv. Chinese Spring (2n = 6x = 42, ABD genomes) was crossed with diploid Inner Mongolian Agropyron Gaertn. species A. cristatum and A. mongolicum and reciprocal hybrids between them (2n = 2x = 14, P genome, with or without B chromosomes). Intergeneric hybrids with 2n = 27, 28, 32, and 33 chromosomes were produced by the aid of embryo rescue. The extra chromosomes in two hybrids were assumed to be B chromosomes transmitted by the male Agropyron parent. Average meiotic pairing in the euploid hybrid with 28 chromosomes was 14.38 univalents + 4.92 bivalents + 1.26 trivalents. This level of pairing higher than expected was likely due to homeologous associations between wheat chromosomes. This data indicates that the P genome of diploid as well as tetraploid Agropyron originating from Inner Mongolia possess a genetic system interfering with 5B homoeologous restricting system of wheat.Key words: intergeneric hybrids, Triticum aestivum, diploid Agropyron species, chromosome pairing.

Three genotypes of Agropyron intermedium ssp. trichophorum (2n = 42) were crossed onto × Triticosecale cv. Welsh (2n = 42). Bivalent frequencies per pollen mother cell in the three hybrid combinations were 4.97, 5.64, and 6.94. Pairing was attributed to autosyndesis between two genomes (N and N1) of the paternal parent rather than to genome homology between the two parents.Key words: triticale, hybrids (intergeneric), chromosome pairing, × Triticosecale, agronomy.

Glycine Tabacina

Observations on geographical distribution, cytotypes, crossability, and meiotic chromosome behavior in intra- and interspecific F1 hybrids revealed that the complexes of Glycine tabacina (2n = 40, 80) and G. tomentella (2n = 38, 40, 78, 80) evolved through allopolyploidization. It is apparent from this study that 80-chromosome tabacinas are composed of two distinct morphological complexes having one common genome: with and without adventitious roots. In contrast, the tomentellas are inseparable morphologically. They are composed of accessions with at least three genomic complexes: (i) 2n = 80, accessions from Australia and Taiwan; (ii) 2n = 80, an accession from Papua New Guinea; and (iii) 2n = 78, accessions from Australia and Papua New Guinea. Hybrids within each group showed complete synapsis and set normal seeds; however, hybrids between the groups apparently differed by one genome and were completely sterile. Chromosome pairing in triploid interspecific F1 hybrids (2n = 59, 60) indicated that G. canescens (2n = 40) was probably the donor of the common genome for 80-chromosome tabacinas and tomentellas. Glycine latifolia (2n = 40) appears to have contributed its genome to G. tabacina (2n = 80) but could not have participated in the speciation of 80-chromosome tomentellas. Likewise, the 38-chromosome G. tomentella has no genomic affinity with 80-chromosome tabacinas but has complete affinity with 80-chromosome tomentellas. On the basis of present findings and the results published earlier, the evolution of the genus Glycine will be discussed. Key words: Glycine spp., genome, hybridization (intraspecific), hybridization (interspecific), speciation.

The Mean

Hybrids were obtained at the rate of 0.8% of pollinated florets in crossing of Thinopyrum intermedium spp. trichophorum onto Secale cereale cv. Puma. The morphology of the hybrid was similar to the paternal parent. The mean chromosome pairing in the hybrid was 18.80 I + 3.71 II + 0.56 III. A bivalent frequency of 0.04 was attributed to intergenomic pairing, the remainder being autosyndetic.Key words: hybrids (intergeneric), Secale, Thinopyrum, chromosome pairing, autosyndetic pairing.

Hordeum Jubatum

Twelve embryos of interspecific hybrids between Hordeum jubatum (4x) and Triticum aestivum (6x) cv. Fukuho were produced out of 280 pollinated florets. Embryos were minute and globular and only one of them was successfully grown in vitro. Plant morphology of the hybrid was intermediate between the two parents and hybrid vigor was observed. Several traits of the hybrid were characteristic of the Hordeum parent such as brittle rachis, long awn, outerglume characteristics, and foliage waxiness being the most prominent. Average meiotic chromosome pairing in the hybrid was 28.6 univalents + 3.2 bivalents + 0.007 trivalents, which is not above what would be expected in a common wheat haploid.Key words: intergeneric hybrids, Critesion, Hordeum, Triticum, meiosis.

First Time

Three hybridizations of Triticum aestivum cv. Chinese Spring (CS) (2n = 42) with Agropyron mongolicum (2n = 14), A. michnoi (2n = 28), and A. desertorum (2n = 28) are reported for the first time. Hybrid embryos were obtained at frequencies of 0.24, 1.13, and 2.05%, respectively. The hybrid plants obtained from pollinating CS by A. mongolicum had the expected chromosome number of 2n = 4x = 28, but as a result of hybrid necrosis, none could be raised to the adult stage. Hybrids CS × A. michnoi and CS × A. desertorum both had 2n = 5x = 35 chromosomes. The average meiotic chromosome pairing per cell was 7.04 I + 12.14 II + 1.06 III + 0.07 IV + 0.02 V + 0.02 VI and 9.29 I + 11.05 II + 1.14 III + 0.05 IV, respectively. Their analysis leads to the conclusions that (i) the two Agropyron genomes in the hybrids share a high degree of homology, thus revealing that tetraploid Agropyron species are true autoploids (genome constitution PPPP) and (ii) gene(s) in the Agropyron species suppress the activity of the homoeologous pairing control system of wheat. The possibility of gene transfer from Agropyron to wheat is discussed.Key words: intergeneric hybrids, Triticum aestivum, Agropyron species, hybrid necrosis, chromosome pairing.
