Meiotic segregation and male recombination in interspecific hybrids of Drosophila.
نویسنده
چکیده
Male hybrids between three pairs of Drosophila species show no substantial distortion of Mendelian segregation and no appreciable male recombination. These results do not support the theories that meiotic drive alleles of large effect are often fixed within species and that transposable genetic elements cause speciation.

Non-Mendelian segregation of sex chromosomes in heterospecific Drosophila males.
Interspecific hybrids and backcrossed organisms generally suffer from reduced viability and/or fertility. To identify and genetically map these defects, we introgressed regions of the Drosophila sechellia genome into the D. simulans genome. A female-biased sex ratio was observed in 24 of the 221 recombinant inbred lines, and subsequent tests attributed the skew to failure of Y-bearing sperm to ...
متن کاملInterspecific Hybridisation and Polyploidisation as Tools in Ornamental Plant Breeding
Interspecific hybridisation and polyploidy are recognized as the most important sources of evolution and domestication of flowering plants. In ornamental plant breeding these phenomena go hand in hand and can be observed in the breeding history of many ornamental crops (Rosa, Chrysanthemum, Gladiolus, Alstroemeria, Lilium, orchids etc). With lily as model crop techniques developed for overcomin...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of teflon, a gene required for meiotic autosome segregation in male Drosophila melanogaster.
Drosophila melanogaster males lack recombination and have evolved a mechanism of meiotic chromosome segregation that is independent of both the chiasmatic and achiasmatic segregation systems of females. The teflon (tef) gene is specifically required in males for proper segregation of autosomes and provides a genetic tool for understanding recombination-independent mechanisms of pairing and segr...
متن کاملMeiotic behavior of interspecific hybrids
The meiotic behavior of four interspecific promising hybrids was evaluated by conventional cytological methods. The female genitors were two artificially tetraploidized sexual accessions of B. ruziziensis (R41 and R44, 2n = 4 χ = 36), which were crossed to an agronomically superior natural tetraploid apomictic genotype of B. brizantha (B140 BRA003395). Three of them (HBGC313, HBGC 315, and HBGC...
متن کاملThe Cytogenetic Study of Crossing over in Interspecific Hybrids between DROSOPHILA VIRILIS and D. TEXANA.
Spontaneous crossing over was studied by means of combined cytological and genetic methods in F(1)Drosophila virilis x D. texana females (series I) and in D. virilis females carrying a D. texana fifth chromosome in heterozygous condition (series II). The main criterion utilized to distinguish the oogonial crossovers from the meiotic ones is the identity of cytological positions of genetic excha...
