Summary

Meiotic pairing was analyzed at metaphase I in ABRR triticale × rye hybrids to identify the arm homoeology of chromosomes ofTriticum turgidum. Wheat chromosomes were identified using a C-banding technique. Results confirmed that the homoeologous relationships between chromosome arms of the A and B genomes inT. turgidum are the same as inT. aestivum, and that a double translocation involving4AL,5AL, and7BS is present inT. turgidum. It is proposed that a pericentric inversion involving a substantial portion of chromosome4A is present inT. turgidum andT. aestivum.
