Abstract
The effect of supernumerary chromosomes on the chiasma characteristics of the standard A-set of rye has been studied in two wild populations from Yugoslavia carrying from one to four B-members. The mean cell chiasma frequency increases significantly with increasing number of supernumeraries.
