title: [The study of joint inheritance of mutations impairing the structure of meiotic chromosomes in rye Secale cereale L].
abstract: Genetic analysis has demonstrated that meiotic mutations mei8 (irregular condensation and fragmentation of meiotic chromosomes) and mei10 (chromosome overcompaction) are nonallelic. Mutation mei10 exhibits digenic inheritance (with a segregation ratio of 13:3) in the combinations of crosses studied. It is assumed that the phenotypic expression of mutation mei10 is suppressed by the effect of recessive gene lch1 or lch2 (long chromosomes), both of which have been revealed in one of the parental lines (Mc10). These genes determine weak condensation of meiotic chromosomes. In double mutants mei8 mei10, the mutations are expressed independently of each other. Gene mei10 is linked with gene mei8 (r = 36.8 +/- 5.38%); genes lch1 and lch2 are not linked either with them or with each other. Taking into account the data on the linkage between genes mei10 and sy10 and between mei8 and sy10, the order of genes in the linkage group is shown to the following: mei8-sy10-mei10.
