GENETIC CONTROL OF CHROMOSOME ELIMINATION DURING HAPLOID FORMATION IN BARLEY

Genetic control over chromosome stability in the interspecific hybrid embryos of Hordeum vulgare and H. bulbosum has been hypothesized to reside on specific chromosomes. In this study, crosses between the primary trisomic lines for the seven different H. vulgare chromosomes and tetraploid H. bulbosum revealed that both chromosomes 2 and 3 of H. vulgare were involved in the control of chromosome elimination. Subsequent crosses using the available monotelotrisomics for chromosomes 2 and 3 led to the conclusion that both arms of chromosome 2 and the short arm of chromosome 3 most likely contain major genetic factors.—From the results of this study and the genome balance observed in the interspecific crosses between H. vulgare and H. bulbosum at the diploid and tetraploid cytotypes, it appears that the factors causing the elimination of the bulbosum chromosomes are located on the H. vulgare chromosome. These factors are offset or balanced by factors on the H. bulbosum chromosomes which, when present in sufficient dosage, either neutralize the effects of the vulgare factors or are able to "protect" the bulbosum chromosomes.
