[Cytogenetic analysis of diploid Avena L. species containing the as genome]
Abstract:
Cytogenetic examination showed that three diploid oat species containing the As genome are highly similar in karyotype structure and chromosome C-banding patterns. Avena strigosa is more similar to A. wiestii, while A. hirtula is to an extent separated from the two species, differing in the C-banding pattern of chromosome 6. The karyotypes of all three species harbor a small acrocentric chromosome, which is absent from diploid oat species containing other variants of the A genome. The results made it possible to assume genome specificity of the rearrangement resulting in this chromosome.
