Abstract: | Summary Primary trisomics of perennial ryegrass, Lolium perenne L., were studied for meiotic behaviour, fertility, morphology and trisome transmission. Trisomics differed from each other in mean meiotic association, pollen fertility, seed set and morphology. The combined cytomorphological data suggested that the investigated trisomic plants included trisomes 2 to 7. No pollen transmission of trisomes was detected. Female transmission of trisomes ranged from 12% for tri 3 to 37% for tri 4 with a mean of 24% for the six trisomes. Trisome transmission was not related to either chromosome size or trivalent/univalent frequency, although the larger trisomes formed trivalents more frequently than the smaller trisomes.Part of M.Sc.Agr.
