چکیده

Genes involved in the exclusive pairing of homologous chromosomes have been described in several polyploid species but little is known about the activity of these genes in diploids (which have only one dose of each homoeologous genome). Analysis of the meiotic behaviour of species, natural and artificial hybrids and polyploids of Glandularia suggests that, in allopolyploids where homoeologous genomes are in two doses, regulator genes prevent homoeologous pairing. The different meiotic phenotypes in diploid F1 hybrids between Glandularia pulchella and Glandularia incisa strongly suggest that these pairing regulator genes possess an incomplete penetrance when homoeologous genomes are in only one dose. Moreover, the meiotic analysis of natural and artificial F1 hybrids suggests that the genetic constitution of parental species influences the activity of pairing regulator genes and is mainly responsible for variability in the amount of homoeologous pairing observed in diploid hybrids. In Glandularia, the pairing regulator genes originated in South American diploid species. The cytogenetic characteristics of this genus make it a good model to analyse and explore in greater depth the activity of pairing regulator genes at different ploidy levels.

Substitution of rye chromosome 5r for chromosome 5b of wheat and its effect on chromosome pairing.

HEXAPLOID wheat normally exhibits homologous pairing, forming only bivalents at meiosis. However, in the absence of chromosome 5B, homoeologous as well as homologous pairing occurs ( SEARS and OKAMOTO 1958; RILEY and CHAPMAN 1958; RILEY and KEMPANNA 1963). In 5Bdeficient hybrids between wheat and related genera, the level of chromosome pairing is increaesd (RILEY, CHAPMAN and KIMBER 1959). In w...

Mathematical comparison of homologous and homoeologous chromosome configurations and the mode of action of the genes regulating pairing in wheat.

Analyses of frequencies of chromosome configurations in wheat and wheat hybrids are extended to include data from hybrids of three chromosome-pairing mutants of wheat with Aegilops variabilis and from autotetraploid Triticum monococcum. These data confirm and extend the theory proposed by Driscoll, Bielig and Darvey (1979). Homoeologous and homologous chromosome pairing are fundamentally identi...

Effect of a rye B chromosome and its segments on homoeologous pairing in hybrids between common wheat and Aegilops variabilis.

Rye B chromosomes, which are supernumerary chromosomes dispensable for the host but increase in number by non-disjunction after meiosis, have been reported to affect meiotic homoeologous pairing in wheat-rye hybrids. The effect of a rye B chromosome (B) and its segments (B-9 and B-10) on homoeologous pairing was studied in hybrids between common wheat (2n=42) and Aegilops variabilis (2n=28), wi...

Cytogenetics of chromosome pairing in wheat.

Meiotic chromosome pairing in Triticum aestivum is controlled by genetic systems promoting and reducing pairing. The pairing of homoeologous chromosomes is prevented principally by the activity of a single locus (Ph) distally located on the long arm of chromosome 5B. In certain hybrids, supernumerary chromosomes (B chromosomes) from Aegilops species can compensate for the absence of chromosome ...

Cytological diploidization of paleopolyploid genus Zea: Divergence between homoeologous chromosomes or activity of pairing regulator genes?

Cytological diploidization process is different in autopolyploid and allopolyploid species. Colchicine applied at the onset of meiosis suppresses the effect of pairing regulator genes resulting multivalents formation in bivalent-forming species. Colchicine treated maizes (4x = 2n = 20, AmAmBmBm) showed up to 5IV, suggesting pairing between chromosomes from genomes homoeologous Am and Bm. In unt...
