Abstract: | Homoeologous pairing at metaphase I was analysed in the standard-type, ph2b and ph1b hybrids of Triticum aestivum (AABBDD) and Aegilops speltoides (SS). Data from relative pairing affinities were used to predict homoeologous relationships of Ae. speltoides chromosomes to wheat. Chromosomes of both species, and their arms, were identified by C-banding. The Ae. speltoides genotype carried genes that induced a high level of homoeologous pairing in the three types of hybrids analyzed. All arms
of the seven chromosomes of the S genome showed normal homoeologous pairing, which implies that no apparent chromosome rearrangements
occurred in the evolution of Ae. speltoides relative to wheat. A pattern of preferential pairing of two types, A-D and B-S, confirmed that the S genome is very closely
related to the B genome of wheat. Although this pairing pattern was also reported in hybrids of wheat with Ae. longissima and Ae. sharonensis, a different behaviour was found in group 5 chromosomes. In the hybrids of Ae. speltoides, chromosome 5B-5S pairing was much more frequent than 5D-5S, while these chromosome associations reached similar frequencies
in the hybrids of Ae. longissima and Ae. sharonensis. These results are in agreement with the hypothesis that the B genome of wheat is derived from Ae. speltoides.
