The occurrence and behavior of pairing control genes at the diploid level were analyzed by using the models and equations developed by Jackson and co-workers. It appears that all pairing control genes are codominant and they are detectable only as heterozygotes in diploids. The phenotypic expressions of such genes are the production of univalents, and this is positively correlated with the occurrence of unpaired chromosome segments at pachytene. Analyses of a large number of accessions of the Triticum monococcum complex and various hybrid combinations have also shown that pairing control gene alleles occur within accessions of the same diploid species and in intraspecific and interspecific hybrids. Strength differences among the pairing control alleles are indicated by different frequencies of univalents at the diploid level, and the occurrence of pairing control genes is not correlated with taxonomic units.Key words: mathematical models, meiotic analyses, pairing control gene, heterozygotes, pachytene, Triticum diploids.

Paradoxical Results

Data on chromosome pairing in haploids and interspecific hybrids of Solanum, sect. Petota reported in the literature were used to determine whether the diploidlike chromosome pairing that occurs in some of the polyploid species of the section is regulated by the genotype or brought about by some other mechanism. The following trends emerged from these data. Most of the polyploid × polyploid hybrids had high numbers of univalents, which seemed to indicate that the polyploid species were constructed from diverse genomes. Haploids, except for those derived from S. tuberosum, had incomplete chromosome pairing. All hybrids from diploid × diploid crosses had more or less regular chromosome pairing, which suggested that all investigated diploid species have the same genome. Likewise, hybrids from polyploid × diploid crosses had high levels of chromosome pairing. These paradoxical results are best explained if it is assumed that (i) the genotypes of most polyploid species, but not those of the diploid species, suppress heterogenetic pairing, (ii) that nonstructural chromosome differentiation is present among the genomes of both diploid and polyploid species, and (iii) the presence of the genome of a diploid species in a polyploid × diploid hybrid results in promotion of heterogenetic pairing. It is, therefore, concluded that heterogenetic pairing in most of the polyploid species is genetically suppressed.

The Difference

Chromosome pairing in hybrids between diploid species of Festuca is described. The chromosome complements of the species from different taxonomic sections vary in chromosome size and DNA content. In interspecific hybrids involving species of the section Montanae there was a relationship between the difference in DNA content of the parental species and chromosome pairing in the F1 hybrids. The larger the difference between the DNA content of the parental species, the more pronounced the failure of chromosome pairing in the F1 hybrids. Factors other than divergence in genome size were also shown to have an effect on chromosome pairing in other hybrid combinations.Key words: chromosome pairing, DNA content, Festuca, hybrids (interspecific).

Agropyron mongolicum Keng, the narrow linear-spiked diploid species (2n = 14), was hybridized with the broad pectinate-spiked diploid (2n = 14), A. cristatum (L.) Gaertner. The F1 hybrids were all diploids and morphologically intermediate to their parents. Chromosome pairing at metaphase I in the hybrids averaged 1.40 I, 5.59 II, 0.35 III, and 0.09 IV per cell, demonstrating that the two parental genomes are very similar. The F1 hybrids were partially fertile. The F2 progeny showed a broad array of variations in spike morphology and chromosome pairing behavior. Cytological data of the F1 hybrids and the F2 progeny revealed that these two diploid species contain the same basic P genome but differ by structural rearrangements of some chromosomes. The patterns of multivalent associations were the result of a heterozygous reciprocal translocation between a long and a very short chromosome segment. The colchicine-induced C0 amphiploids were fully fertile with regular chromosome pairing behavior. These two diploid species are the likely source of morphological variation in the tetraploid crested wheatgrasses.Key words: Agropyron, cytogenetics, chromosome pairing, interspecific hybrids.

Homoeologous Chromosomes

Triticum aestivum L. lines with added or substituted chromosomes of Elytrigia elongata (Host) Nevski were hybridized with Hordeum bulbosum L. to obtain haploids and with Triticum urartu Thum. to obtain interspecific hybrids. Chromosome pairing at metaphase I was investigated in the resulting haploids and hybrids and the parental addition and substitution lines. Genes that promoted pairing of homologous or homoeologous chromosomes were found on chromosome arms 3ES, 3EL, 4ES, 5Ep, and chromosome 6E of E. elongata. Genes that suppressed pairing of homoeologous chromosomes were found on chromosome arms 4EL and 7Eq. It is concluded that genes promoting or suppressing pairing of homoeologous chromosomes are ubiquitous among diploid species. Key words: wheat, Triticum, wheatgrass, Elytrigia elongata, heterogenetic pairing, chromosome pairing, pairing promotion, pairing suppression.

ABSTRACT Previous work has shown that chromosome pairing at metaphase I (MI) of wheat homologous chromosomes from different inbred lines (heterohomologous chromosomes) is reduced relative to that between homologous chromosomes within an inbred line (euhomologous chromosomes). In order to determine if a potential for this phenomenon exists in diploid species closely related to the wheat B genome, MI chromosome pairing was investigated between euhomologous and heterohomologous 6Be (=6Se) chromosomes, each from a different population of Aegilops longissima Schweinf. et Muschl. (2n = 2x = 14) substituted for chromosome 6B of Chinese Spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L., 2n = 6x = 42). Euhomologous and heterohomologous monotelodisomics, i.e., plants with one complete chromosome 6Be and a telosome of either 6Bep or 6Beq, were constructed in the isogenic background of Chinese Spring. Pairing at MI of the Ae. longissima chromosomes was reduced in heterohomologous monotelodisomics compared to that in the corresponding euhomologous monotelodisomics. The remaining 20 pairs of Chinese Spring chromosomes paired equally well in the euhomologous and heterohomologous monotelodisomics. Thus, the cause of the reduced pairing must reside specifically in the Ae. longissima heterohomologues. In the hybrids between the Ae. longissima lines that contributed the substituted chromosomes, pairing between the heterohomologous chromosomes was normal and did not differ from that of the euhomologous chromosomes. These data provide evidence that a potential for reduced pairing between the heterohomologues is present in the diploid species, but is expressed only in the polyploid wheat genetic background. The reduction in heterohomologous chromosome pairing was greater in the p arm than in the q arm, exactly as in chromosome 6B of wheat. It is concluded that the reduced pairing between Ae. longissima heterohomologues has little to do with constitutive heterochromatin. The value of chromosome pairing as an unequivocal means of determining the origin of genomes in polyploid plants is questioned.

Chromosome pairing in the F1 hybrid between the cultivated oat Avena sativa and a diploid species A. ventricosa, and in the derived amphiploid, shows that the diploid species is related to one of the genomes of the hexaploid species. The amount of chromosome pairing observed in complex interamphiploid hybrids demonstrates further that A. ventricosa is related to the C. genome of A. sativa. However, the chromosomes of the diploid species have become differentiated from that of the C genome of A. sativa and this is readily apparent in the meiotic behaviour of both the F1 hybrid and the amphiploid.

Metaphase I

Both Trifolium repens (2n = 32) and T. nigrescens (2n = 16) formed bivalents during meiosis. However, their triploid hybrid showed an average of 4.27 trivalents per microsporocyte at metaphase I. The frequency of trivalents in the hybrid between T. nigrescens and autotetraploid T. occidentale (2n = 32) was 5.69. The data are interpreted to indicate: (1) a possible autotetraploid origin of T. repens; and (2) a close phylogenetic relationship among T. repens, T. nigrescens and T. occidentale.

Genomes of the G group in Hibiscus sect. Furcaria have been found previously in one African diploid species and in various ailoploid combinations in Africa, India and Sri Lanka, North and South America and the Hawaiian Islands. Study of 11 interspecific hybrids between the Australian species H. heterophyllus and H. splendens and G-genome testers indicates that genomes somewhat related to the G group are present in the Australian allohexaploid alliance. These genomes are designated G′. Several of the intercontinental hybrids studied were weak, inviable or morphologically abnormal. The data support the interpretation that the genomes of the Australian alliance have diverged more from African and New World genomes than the latter two have from each other.

Intergeneric hybrids involving Hordeum californicum with Secale anatolicum and Hordeum bogdanii with Secale cereale ssp. segetale were produced at a frequency of 1.3% of pollinated florets. Chiasmata frequencies of plants ranged from 0.13 to 0.21 per cell in the first hybrid combination and from 0.30 to 0.68 per cell in the second. The paucity of heteromorphic bivalents indicated absence of a close relationship between parental genomes. The associations in bivalents could be classified into Secale–Secale (R–R), Hordeum–Hordeum (H–H), and Secale–Hordeum (R–H) on the basis of difference in size of the chromosomes of Secale and Hordeum. Using a binomial distribution, it is shown that there was preferential intragenomic (R–R, H–H) chromosome pairing, which was attributed to the presence of homologous chromosome segments on nonhomologous chromosomes of the same genome. The distribution of Hordeum and Secale chromosomes to the poles at anaphase occurred at random. Key words: Hordeum, Secale, hybrids (intergeneric), chromosome pairing.
