Abstract
Wheat-rye chromosome associations at metaphase I studied by Naranjo and Fernández-Rueda (1991) in ph1b ABDR hybrids have been reanalysed to establish the frequency of pairing between individual chromosomes of wheat and rye. Wheat chromosomes, except for 2A and 2D, and their arms were identified by C-banding. Diagnostic C-bands and other cytological markers such as telocentrics or translocations were used to identify each one of the rye chromosomes and their arms. Both the amount of telomeric C-heterochromatin and the structure of the rye chromosomes relative to wheat affected the level of wheatrye pairing. The degree to which rye chromosomes paired with their wheat homoeologues varied with each of the three wheat genomes; in most groups, the B-R association was more frequent than the A-R or D-R associations. Recombination between arms 1RL and 2RL and their homoeologues of wheat possessing a different telomeric C-banding pattern was detected and quantified at anaphase I. The frequency of recombinant chromosomes obtained supports the premise that recombination between wheat and rye chromosomes may be estimated from wheat-rye pairing.
