Abstract: | Seeds of a variety of allogamous Brown Sarson (Brassica campestris) were irradiated with gamma rays either before or after duplication of their chromosome number by colchicine. Tetraploids from seeds irradiated before duplication had mean quadrivalent and chiasma frequencies of 1.85 and 28.35 respectively. Those from seeds irradiated after duplication had frequencies of 2.82 and 29.94, while unirradiated tetraploids had 2.77 and 30.53 respectively. Small structural aberrations inducing preferential pairing are assumed to have caused the lower quadrivalent frequency after the first treatment. The results suggest that it may be more expedient to induced, allopolyploidlike chromosome behaviour by irradiation at the diploid than at the tetraploid level. |
