This developmental deviation was correlated to the presence of the Ti plasmid in the bacterium. Explants inoculated with nontumorigenic A. tumefaciens showed a morphogenetic pattern intermediate between the controls and explants inoculated with tumorigenic bacteria.

This alignment is brought about by intercalary and terminal associations. The intercalary association sites are possibly targets of forces for long distance attraction of homologues and potential pairing initiation sites. The terminal associations are mediated by dense spherules and result possibly from the attachment of the telomeres to the nuclear envelope. In pachytene the alignment is abolished and the four axes are synapsed two by two, resulting in bivalents or, owing to partner switches in the synapsed axes, in quadrivalents. From the number of partner switches per configuration the number of pairing initiation sites is estimated. Homologous alignment and synapsis are discussed, comparing them with the conditions in a triploid species, which were described in a previous paper.Key words: Allium vineale, synaptonemal complex, polyploids, chromosome pairing, meiosis.","PeriodicalId":9589,"journal":{"name":"Canadian journal of genetics and cytology.

During the course of this study an unexpected plant (308-17), with a recombinant phenotype, arose from a control population where homoeologous pairing was thought to be suppressed. The putative recombinant chromosome in plant 308-17 carried two seed protein loci located on 1RL (namely, the rye Glu-R1 locus and a recently discovered globulin-like marker) but appeared to lack C-banded heterochromatin. Further investigation of this apparent recombinant chromosome in progeny of 308-17 using a cloned probe for the 350 family of rye heterochromatic sequence indicated that some terminal heterochromatin was still present but in a much reduced amount. Because it appears that only the terminal region has been changed, the modified chromosome in 308-17 most likely did not arise from homoeologous recombination but rather from some form ...","PeriodicalId":9589,"journal":{"name":"Canadian journal of genetics and cytology.

Homoeologous chromosome pairing occurred in the hybrids, but no evidence of interspecific chromosome pairing was observed. Both hybrids were sterile, but pollination of the 28-chromosome hybrid with 'Chinese Spring' pollen gave a few seeds. Within the F1 hybrids, chromosome numbers varied slightly, especially among pollen mother cells, and barley showed partial dominance of nucleolus organizer regions in somatic cells.

The 5′ end of the 18S gene, and most of the 3′ end of the 26S gene, could be readily defined by comparisons with previously published sequences. The major spacer region was dominated by the presence of 10 repeating units, with a basic length of 134 base pairs (bp), which showed sequence variability in that deletions of sections of the sequence as well as base-pair changes were common. A portion of the sequence which was common to almost all the spacer repeats and is also found in the corresponding wheat spacer repeats (in pTa250), with only two mismatches (using a consensus sequence of the rye spacer repeats as a comparison), is GCGACATGGAAAACCGGGCAAAACCACGTAC.

On the assumption that reduced kernel size is due to aneuploidy in the endosperm following nondisjunction at one of the embryo sac mitoses, the observed proportion of hypoploid:hyperploid:euploid embryos among small kernels is inconsistent with nondisjunction at the first or third mitoses but fits well the expectation for nondisjunction occurring at the second mitosis.
