Abstract: | Summary The karyotype of the dihaploid SVP1 line of S. tuberosum (2n=2x=24) showed two nucleolar chromosomes with differently sized satellites. The diploid SVP5 line (2n=2x=24) and tetraploid regenerants of S. phureja had larger but similar satellites. Somatic hybrids between the diploid lines of these potato species with genome combinations 4 tub + 2 ph (plants 1–3), 2 tub + 4 ph (plants 4–7) and 4 tub + 4 ph (plant 8) had lost 2 phureja nucleolar chromosomes if 4 phureja genomes were present. One phureja nucleolar chromosome of plants 1–3 and both of plants 5 and 7 had rearranged satellites. Elimination of the two nucleolar chromosomes occurred preferentially, was under genetic control, and probably took place during early callus development. NOR activity resulting in rear-rangements between NORs may have caused the elimination. |
