Abstract

The interactive effect on homoeologous pairing of rye B-chromosomes with the absence of both pairing suppressor (3A, 3D, 5B) and promotor (3B, 5A, 5D) chromosomes of common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is analyzed by comparison of pairing at Metaphase I of 27-, 27+2B, 28- and 28+2B-chromosome plants. These plants were obtained from crosses between the respective wheat monosomics (2n=41) and rye plants (Secale cereale L.) carrying or not carrying two B-chromosomes (2n=14 or 14+2Bs). —The effect of rye B-chromosomes on pairing depends on the function of the wheat chromosome which is absent in the appropriate hybrids, i.e., rye B-chromosomes have a suppressor effect on pairing when the pairing suppressing wheat chromosomes 3A, 3D or 5B are absent, while they behave as promotors when the pairing promoting chromosomes 3B, 5A or 5D are absent.
