title: C-banding polymorphism and linkage of nonhomoeologous RFLP loci in the D genome progenitor of wheat.
abstract: Chromosomes from four different accessions of Triticum tauschii, used as parents in generating F2 populations for RFLP genetic linkage map construction, were analyzed by C-banding. The accessions consist of the varietal taxa strangulata (AUS 21929) and meyeri (AUS 18911), and two genotypes of var. typica (AUS 18902 and CPI 110730 from Iran and Afghanistan, respectively). Chromosomes 1D and 7D of T. tauschii var. typica AUS 18902 are involved in a reciprocal interchange forming translocated chromosomes, T1DS.7DL and T7DS.1DL, with tbe breakpoints being located within the centrometric region. The formation of quadrivalent configuration in F1 hybrids provided further confirmation of the reciprocal translocation. Genetic linkage mapping of additional RFLP markers located on homoeologous group 1 and 7 chromosomes showed consistent linkage to a composite group of proximal markers on chromosomes 1D and 7D of a previously published map derived from the F2 progeny of AUS 18902 x AUS 18911. A high frequency of RFLP genotypes transmitted by the translocation parent was prevalent in the proximal regions of chromosomes 1D and 7D. Genotypic frequencies expected of the nontranslocated parental RFLP markers was evident only in the distal regions of these chromosomes.
