A comparative study on the electrophoretic patterns of embryo plus scutellum, endosperm, and internal and external coats of rye (Secale cereale L. and Secale vavilovii Grossh.), tetraploid wheat (Triticum turgidum L. durum), and hexaploid Triticale during kernel maturation has been carried out. Each kernel part of each species showed a characteristic pattern, and slow pattern changes from the beginning of the study (5 days after pollination) until kernels reached maturity (dry kernels) were observed. The triticale peroxidase patterns were very similar to tetraploid wheat patterns, and only few rye isozymes were clearly observed, probably due to overlapping with wheat isozymes. The possible influence of rye genome on the expression of wheat isozymes in triticale is also discussed.

A comparative study on the electrophoretic peroxidase patterns of rye (Secale cereale L.), tetraploid wheat (Triticum turgidum L. durum), hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), and hexaploid Triticale during kernel germination has been carried out. Endosperm, embryo, coleoptile, and the first leaf have been analyzed. A drastic change in peroxidase patterns was observed during the first hours of germination in all the materials studied. The triticale peroxidase patterns were similar to tetraploid wheat female parent patterns. The chromosomal locations of two leaf peroxidase isozymes of hexaploid wheat 'Chinese Spring' are also reported. These two isozymes, C9 and C10, are associated with chromosome arms 3DS and 7DS, respectively.

Prior Adaptation

Two groups of hexaploid triticale were synthesized from the crosses of two cultivars of diploid rye (Secale cereale L.) with (a): two cultivars of tetraploid macaroni wheat (durum-group of Triticum turgidum L.), and (b): extracted AABB tetraploids of three cultivars of hexaploid bread wheat (T. aestivum L. em. Thell.).The extracted triticales, as a group, showed the greater chromosome regularity in the division of their PMC's. This was attributed to the prior adaptation of the extracted AABB component to the hexaploid meiosis of bread wheat. There was much variation in chromosome behaviour among triticales which had in common the same parental cultivars of wheat and rye. This genetic variability most likely came from the heterogeneity of gametes that were contributed by the two outbred cultivars of rye.AI was delayed in PMC's in which there was a low level of synapsis at MI. This effect was related to the total number of chromosome arms that were paired in each cell (arm pairs), regardless of how many univalents each cell contained. Non-randomness in the distribution of paired chromosome arms suggested that some chromosomes (possibly derived from rye) were less likely to pair than others.The rate at which univalents were formed in cells with a particular number of arm pairs was clearly influenced both by the genotype and by the environment of the triticale in question.

Meiosis and pollen development were timed in diploid rye, Secale cereale L. cv. Prolific; tetraploid wheat, Triticum turgidum L. var. durum cv. Stewart; and a hexaploid, Triticale hexaploide cv. 6A190, derived from them. At 20 C the duration of meiosis was about 51 hr in Prolific rye, 31 hr in Stewart wheat, and 37 hr in 6A190 triticale. Pollen development at 20 C lasted about 16 days in Prolific rye, about 9.5 days in Stewart wheat, and about 10 days in 6A190 triticale. These times are in close agreement with estimates previously made for diploid rye, cv. Petkus Spring; tetraploid Triticum dicoccum; and hexaploid triticale cv. RosnerThe high nuclear DNA content of rye pollen mother cells (PMC's) determines a longer meiotic time in both diploid and tetraploid rye than that determined by the lower nuclear DNA contents of PMC's in diploid and tetraploid wheat. The data available may be interpreted to indicate that the relative effect of the wheat and rye genomes in determining the rate of meiotic development in wheat/rye amphiploids varies according to the ratio of wheat to rye genomes. In diploid and tetraploid rye and in 6A190 triticale the proportion of the total meiotic time taken by zygotene and pachytene together (about 40%) differs from the proportion of meiosis which they take in hexaploid wheat and octoploid triticale (about 25%). This difference may be causally correlated with differences between the meiotic stability of rye chromosomes in wheat/rye amphidiploids at the hexaploid and octoploid levels.

The excellent cold hardiness of rye (Secale cereale L.) makes it a potential source of genetic variability for the improvement of this character in related species. However, when rye is combined with common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) to produce octaploid triticale (X Triticosecale Wittmack, ABDR genomes), the superior rye cold hardiness is not expressed. To determine if the D genome of hexaploid wheat might be responsible for this lack of expression, hexaploid triticales (ABR genomes) were produced and evaluated for cold hardiness. All hexaploid triticales had cold hardiness levels similar to their tetraploid wheat parents. Small gains in cold hardiness of less than 2 °C were found when very non-hardy wheats were used as parents. This similarity in expression of cold hardiness in both octaploid and hexaploid triticales indicates that the D genome of wheat is not solely, if at all, responsible for the suppression of rye cold hardiness genes. There appears to be either a suppressor(s) of the rye cold hardiness genes on the AB genomes of wheat, or the expression of diploid rye genes is reduced to a uniform level by polyploidy in triticale. The suppression, or lack of expression, of rye cold hardiness genes in a wheat background make it imperative that cold-hardy wheats be selected as parents for the production of hardy triticales.Key words: Triticale, Secale, winter wheat, cold hardiness, gene expression

A γ-ray induced male-sterility mutant on chromosome 4A of Triticum aestivum L. (Cornerstone mutant ms1c) was transferred to T. durum Desf. by backcrossing. Selfed heterozygotes of T. durum produced fewer male-sterile plants than those of T. aestivum. Male-sterile plants of T. durum and T. aestivum were crossed with diploid rye (Secale cereale L.) and fertile hexaploid and octoploid triticales were obtained following colchicine treatment of the F1's. Thus, rye is able to restore fertility at both of these ploidy levels.

Three tetraploid triticales were analysed by C-banding techniques in order to establish their chromosome constitutions. All three tetraploid triticales contained seven rye chromosomes with the banding pattern of Secale cereale L. A mixture of A- and B-genome chromosomes from Triticum turgidum L. constituted the wheat genome present in the tetraploid triticales. Triticale Trc 4x3 contained 1A, 2B, 3A, 4A, 5B, 6A, and 7B. Triticale Trc 4x2 contained 1A, 2B, 3B, 4B, 5B, 6A, and 7B, while triticale Trc 4x5 contained 1A, 2B, 3B, 4A, 5A, 6A, and 7B. The reliability of the staining technique is subject to errors in identification, which are discussed.

ABSTRACT In rye (Secale cereale L. cv. "Ailés") the progeny of a cross between a structural heterozygote for a reciprocal translocation (involving the 1R chromosome) and a homozygote for the standard chromosome arrangement were analyzed for the electrophoretic patterns of eight different leaf isozymes and also for their meiotic configuration at metaphase I.—The Got-3 and Mdh-2b loci are linked to each other and also to the reciprocal translocation. The Mdh-2b locus is located in the interstitial segment of the 3Rq chromosome arm, with an estimated distance of 8 cM to the breakpoint. Therefore, the reciprocal translocation involves the 1R and 3R chromosomes.—Also, the Mdh-1 and 6-Pgd-2 loci are linked (16 ± 3 cM) and have been located on the 2Rq arm. Finally, the Per-3 and Per-4 loci are located on the 2Rp chromosome arm at an estimated distance of 26 ± 4 cM.

The nucleolar organizer activity of Aegilops ventricosa and its amphiploids with tetraploid wheats (Triticum turgidum, Triticum dicoccum, and Triticum aethiopicum) and diploid rye (Secale cereale) was analyzed by the silver-staining procedure. Triticum turgidum and Triticum dicoccoides show four Ag-NORs (silver-stained nucleolar organizer regions), in agreement with previous data. Only two Ag-NORs are detected in Ae. ventricosa (genome constitution DDMM) indicating that natural amphiplasty occurs in this allotetraploid species. No amphiplasty was observed in the Ae. ventricosa – tetraploid wheat amphiploids since six Ag-NORs were visible in all of them. On the contrary, only two Ag-NORs were detected in the Ae. ventricosa – Secale cereale amphiploid, the rye NORs being suppressed by the presence of ventricosa chromosomes. The ventricosa NORs therefore are codominant with those of tetraploid wheat (chromosomes 1B and 6B) and dominant to chromosome 1R of rye. Eleven T. aestivum – Ae. ventricosa addition lines have been also analyzed. All of them showed four Ag-NORs. Clear-cut conclusions were not reached since the added ventricosa chromosomes were not identified.

Seven lines of rye (Secale cereale L.), six inbred (S9) and one open-pollinated, were used as pollen parents in crosses with two tetraploid wheat strains (Triticum turgidum var. durum cvs. 'Jori' and 'Langdon'). The rye lines were of diverse genetic background and exhibited significant differences in meiotic stability as measured by frequencies of chiasmata and univalent formation. The rate and extent of development of the embryo and endosperm tissue of hybrid ovules were not influenced by the level of meiotic stability of the rye parent, but rather by a genetic interaction between a specific rye genotype and wheat. This was indicated by the significant differences obtained in the frequency of normal embryo formation when different rye lines were used as parents in crosses to a common wheat cultivar. The specific effect of the wheat genotype on the mean seedset was shown by the significant differences obtained when different wheat cultivars were crossed with a given set of rye genotypes under the same environmental conditions. The prevailing ambient temperature significantly affected hybrid embryo and endosperm development in vivo.
