Cytogenetic characteristics of wheat lines with modified 1RS.1BL rye-wheat translocation

Abstract

The higher frequency (almost 90%) of inheritance through pollen of heterozygous hybrids has been shown for the modified 1RS.1BL translocation compared with the 1BL telocentric, and, as a result, the segregations at the Gli-B1 and Glu-B1 loci strongly deviated from the expected values. The distance between the Glu-B1 locus and the centromere was 15.7–24.4 cM. Products of the 1RS_m.1BL translocation "misdivision" were observed at a frequency of 0.05%. Both the Pavon MA1 lines and the winter wheat line with the 1RS_m.1BL_al translocation have shown a significant decrease in the level of homologous chromosome pairing, causing aneuploidy. These lines did not contain any reciprocal translocations with respect to the Kuyal'nik cultivar. A "hybrid desynapsis" has been observed in F₁ hybrids (Kuyal'nik × Pavon MA1) in contrast to analogous hybrids from a winter line by the 1RS_m.1BL_al type. No single case of the 21_Closed^II formation has been observed among the studied 693 pollen mother cells (PMCs), which would have indicated the presence of pairing between the short arms of the 1RS_m.1BL translocations and the intact chromosome 1B.
