Cytogenetics of Chromosome Pairing in Wheat

RESUMO

Meiotic chromosome pairing in Triticum aestivum is controlled by genetic systems promoting and reducing pairing. The pairing of homoeologous chromosomes is prevented principally by the activity of a single locus (Ph) distally located on the long arm of chromosome 5B. In certain hybrids, supernumerary chromosomes (B chromosomes) from Aegilops species can compensate for the absence of chromosome 5B preventing or reducing homoeologous pairing. Temperature-dependent variants and colchicine sensitivity have been used to show that there are at least two stages in the G1 of meiosis at which the occurrence of meiotic pairing is determined. Wheat may differ from lily in the detailed organization of meiosis.
