The frequencies of the Ne1 and Ch1 alleles were 53% and 13%, respectively, in T. dicoccoides; whereas they were 69% and 0% in T. araraticum. The Ne2 allele was not found in both species. The Ne1 allele of T. dicoccoides was mainly Ne1m, while that of T. araraticum was mainly Ne1w. The frequency of the Ch1 allele differed significantly between the two species. These facts indicate that the emmer and timopheevi groups of tetraploid wheat had been differentiated genetically before their domestication. On the frequencies of the Ne1 and Ch1 alleles, Israeli T. dicoccoides revealed high genetic homogeneity within local populations. While there was extreme variability among these populations, they showed no geographical inclination of their frequencies. These alleles are assumed to be neutral for selection and have been randomly fixed in most populations. A limited numbers of Sitopsis accessions of the genus Aegilops were tested for the two alleles, Ne1 and Ne2. None of them carried these alleles. Thus, the origin of the Ne1 alleles found in tetraploid wheats could not be traced back to any Sitopsis species.","PeriodicalId":22578,"journal":{"name":"The Japanese Journal of Genetics","volume":"3 1","pages":"371-380"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89695335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

C-banding and ISH analyses allow the identification of all individual rye chromosomes and most chromosome arms with these probes. A C-banded karyotype of the added rye chromosomes was constructed and data on chromosome lengths, arm ratios, and fraction lengths of diagnostic C-bands are given following the nomenclature system recently recommended for wheat. Similar telomeric and interstitial localized ISH patterns were observed with pSc119, pSc74, and total rye genomic DNA probes. In addition, pSc119 and total rye genomic DNA labels rye chromatin over their entire lengths, also permitting the detection of unbanded euchromatic rye chromatin transfers in wheat.
