FURTHER EVIDENCE ON THE DERIVATION OF UNIVALENTS IN HEXAPLOID TRITICALE

Abstract
Approximately 70% of the PMC's of the triticale cultivar 'Rosner' have 21 bivalents at MI; the remaining cells exhibit varying numbers of univalents. By careful measurement and classification of univalents, the range of univalent size corresponds to that obtained from measurement of the complete compliment of univalents of a haploid of Rosner. This verified earlier findings that the varying degrees of meiotic instability observed in triticale involved chromosomes of both the wheat and rye genomes, not only those of rye as earlier believed.
