Meiotic pairing was studied in three Elymus species, E. pseudonutans (2n = 28), E. shandongensis (2n = 28), and E. semicostatus (2n = 28), as well as their dihaploids (2n = 14) which were produced from the intergeneric crosses E. pseudonutants × Hordeum vulgare ssp. spontaneum, E. shandongensis × Triticum aestivum, and E. semicostatus × H. bulbosum. An average of 12.82 I + 0.55 II + 0.03 III; 12.59 I + 0.65 II + 0.01 III, and 12.70 I + 0.76 II + 0.02 III per cell characterized meioses in the dihaploids, respectively. Intergeneric hybrids (2n = 21) of the three species were also obtained with diploid Secale cereal and S. montanum. Meiotic configurations of the hybrids were 14.64 I + 2.82 II + 0.20 III + 0.01 IV and 16.38 I + 2.02 II + 0.16 III for two combinations of E. pseudonutans × S. cereale; 15.59 I + 2.62 II + 0.08 III and 19.63 I + 0.65 II for E. shandongensis × S. cereale and E. semicostatus × S. montanum, respectively. A large number of chromosomes were involved in secondary associations in the different combinations. The study revealed (i) low affinity between S and Y genomes in the investigated Elymus species, (ii) a certain degree of homoeology between genomes of Elymus (S or Y) and rye (R), and (iii) that the rye genome affects homoeologous chromosome pairing between different genomes in the Elymus species.Key words: Elymus, Hordeum, Secale, dihaploid, chromosome elimination, intergeneric hybrid, meiotic pairing.

Abstract Background The Scolopacidae family (Suborder Scolopaci, Charadriiformes) is composed of sandpipers and snipes; these birds are long-distance migrants that show great diversity in their behavior and habitat use. Cytogenetic studies in the Scolopacidae family show the highest diploid numbers for order Charadriiformes. This work analyzes for the first time the karyotype of Actitis macularius by classic cytogenetics and chromosome painting. Results The species has a diploid number of 92, composed mostly of telocentric pairs. This high 2n is greater than the proposed 80 for the avian ancestral putative karyotype (a common feature among Scolopaci), suggesting that fission rearrangements have formed smaller macrochromosomes and microchromosomes. Fluorescence in situ hybridization using Burhinus oedicnemus whole chromosome probes confirmed the fissions in pairs 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 of macrochromosomes. Conclusion Comparative analysis with other species of Charadriiformes studied by chromosome painting together with the molecular phylogenies for the order allowed us to raise hypotheses about the chromosomal evolution in suborder Scolopaci. From this, we can establish a clear idea of how chromosomal evolution occurred in this suborder.
