C-banding pattern and meiotic pairing in five rye chromosomes of hexaploid triticale

T Naranjo et al. Theor Appl Genet. 1982 Sep.

Abstract

The meiotic behaviour of rye chromosomes 1R, 2R, 3R, 6R and 7R/4R of hexaploid triticale 'Cachirulo' is analyzed using the C-banding technique. These chromosomes show different C-banding patterns and present different pairing levels at metaphase I. A decreasing effect of large telomeric heterochromatin bands on pairing is deduced from the following two main facts: i) The chromosome 7R/4R shows the highest pairing associated with the smallest amount of heterochromatin, ii) pairing levels of 2 R short arm and 3 R long arm which carry large telomeric bands are less than their respective long and short arms lacking telomeric heterochromatin. Possible desynaptic effects of heterochromatin are discussed although an asynaptic effect cannot be rejected.
