Description

Meiotic studies showed the presence of a reciprocal translocation in the variety Manon, the M2-line No. 32 (dose of 15,000 r-units). A ring of 4 chromosomes was observed in 29.80 per cent of analyzed PMC's at metaphase I. This translocation ring had a closed or open shape. In the some cases J-shaped rings were found. Pollen sterility of this line amounted 27.63 per cent. Different number of univalents, ranging from two to six, were present in 16.33 per cent of PMC's at metaphase I, with an average of 0.47 per PMC. The agglutination of chromosomes at metaphase I was a frequent phenomenon in this line. The laggard chromosomes were found at anaphase I. The phenomenon of chromosome agglutination and the occurrence of univalents were noticed at metaphase I in the M2-line No. 53 (variety Ager, dose of 15,000 r-units). The rings of 4 chromosomes were absent in this line. Pollen sterility in this line amounted 29.82 per cent; univalents were found in 11.33 per cent of PMC's only, with an average of 0.31 univalent per PMC. (orig./GSE)

Abstract (German)

Meiotische Untersuchungen zeigten reziproke Translokationen in der Abart Manon, in der M2-Linie Nr. 32 (bei einer Dosis von 15.000 r-Einheiten). In 29,80% aller analysierten PMC's der Metaphase I zeigte sich ein offener oder geschlossener, in einigen Faellen J-foermiger Ring aus 4 Chromosomen. 27,63% der Pollen dieser Linie waren steril. In 16,33% der PMC's der Metaphase I fanden sich bis zu sechs verschiedene Univalente, durchschnittlich 0,47 per PMC. Chromosomzusammenballung war ein haeufiges Phaenomen in dieser Linie. Langsame Chromosomen fanden sich in der Anaphase I. Chromosomzusammenballung und Univalente wurden auch in der Metaphase I in der M2-Linie Nr. 53 (Abart Ager, Dosis von 15.000 r-Einheiten) festgestellt, Ringe aus 4 Chromosomen dagegen nicht. Die Pollensterilitaet in dieser Linie war 29,82%; Univalente fanden sich nur in 11,33% der PMC's, mit einem Mittel von 0,31 Univalenten per PMC. (orig./AK)
