Abstract: | The successful production of interspecific hybrids between membersof the dysploid chromosome series inDahlia offers a unique opportunityto investigate chromosome evolution. Analysis of meiotic metaphaseI in these hybrids using genomic in situ hybridization (GISH)has shown that pairing occurs both between and within parentalgenomes. These results have provided clear evidence for theallotetraploid origin of Dahlia species with 2n=32 and suggeststhat species with 2n=34 and 2n=36 have also arisen via allopolyploidy.A bivalent promoting mechanism proposed for species with 2n=32also appears to be present in Dahlia species with 2n=34 and2n=36 .Copyright 1999 Annals of Botany Company Dahlia , GISH, dysploidy, chromosome pairing, karyotype analysis, polyploidy. |
