Vd. Fedotova et Sf. Koval, CYTOGENETIC AND MORPHOLOGICAL-STUDY OF ALLOPLASMIC LINES OF COMMON WHEAT WITH ALIEN CYTOPLASM, Cereal Research Communications, 24(3), 1996, pp. 261-266
The nucleus of common wheats Novosibirskaya 67 and Byelorusskaya 80 wa
s introduced into the cytoplasm of Secale cereale, Agropyron trichopho
rum and Aegilops variabilis by backrossing. A cytogenetic study of mei
osis in plants of alloplasmic lines was carried out. Different meiotic
irregularities were observed. The alloplasmic lines of Novosibirskaya
67 and Byelorusskaya 80 with Secale cereale and Agropyron trichophoru
m cytoplasm were found to carry one or two extra chromosomes with impo
rtant contribution to adaptation of plants.
