Genetically balanced and unbalanced microspores of an interchange heterozygote of Allium triquetrum are shown to behave differently with respect to their first pollen grain mitosis (PGMI). Two types of unbalanced microspores abort immediately prior to PGMI, while another two types are delayed in their progression through PGMI. The data presented have relevance to transmission potentials of unbalanced postmeiotic cells and estimates of their frequencies in interchange (reciprocal translocation) heterozygotes.Key words: differential behaviour, unbalanced cells, pollen grain mitosis, interchange heterozygosity.

SUMMARYTwo male-sterile chromosome anomalies, the insertion Is(7; 1)40H and the tertiary trisomy, Ts(512)31H, were found to be associated with reduced ovarian volumes in immature females. Together with the reciprocal translocation, T(11; 19)42H, in which this effect was described previously, reduced ovaries have been found in all three male-sterile chromosome anomalies investigated so far, suggesting that ovarian involvement is likely to be common in these conditions. Assuming that the smaller ovarian size reflects a reduction in the number of oocytes, it is suggested that male-sterile chromosome anomalies may exert basically similar deleterious effects on meiotic germ cells in males and females, the difference in outcome being due to cell-physiological differences between spermatocytes and oocytes and to the small number of surviving oocytes required for fertility in females.
