title: [Modification of the genome of Pisum sativum by induced translocations in the satellite chromosomes].
abstract: In connection with X-ray experiments on Pisum sativum 'Dippes gelbe Victoria', two translocation line showing dramatic deviations from the normal karyotype were selected and cytologically analysed (root tips). In line 62B, an exchange between the long arms of chromosome V and the satellite chromosome VII took place. In line 488, both satellite chromosomes IV and VII were involved in the exchange process, leading to a very short chromosome (VII T!), and a very long chromosome (IV T!) uniting both the satellites in one chromosome. The importance of these lines with regard to mutation breeding and evolution is discussed.
