Abstract

In hexaploid triticale, cultivar UPT 72142 having highly shrivelled grains, there were only five pairs of rye chromosomes, whereas cultivars UPT 78268 and UPT 79245 having medium grains had six and five pairs, respectively. Plump grained cultivars UPT 79347 and UPT 79339 had 2 pairs of rye chromosomes. A decrease in the number of rye chromosomes in triticales is con-elated with grain improvement.
