Abstract: | Genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) was used to distinguish autosyndetic from allosyndetic pairing in the hybrids of Thinopyrum intermedium and Th. ponticum with Triticum aestivum cv ‘Chinese Spring’ (CS). All hybrids showed high autosyndetic pairing frequencies among wheat chromosomes and among Thinopyrum chromosomes. The high autosyndetic pairing frequencies among wheat chromosomes in both hybrids suggested that Th. intermedium and Th. ponticum carry promoters for homoeologous chromosome pairing. The higher frequencies of autosyndetic pairing among Thinopyrum chromosomes than among wheat chromosomes in both hybrids indicated that the relationships among the three genomes of Th. intermedium and among the five genomes of Th. ponticum are closer than those among the three genomes of T. aestivum.
