Abstract:
Chromosome painting using multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization showed that, in addition to the T1AL·1RS translocation derived from rye, a segment from chromosome 3Ae#1 of Agropyron elongatum (2n=10x =70), is present in Amigo wheat. The Agropyron chromosome segment is located on the satellite of chromosome 1B and the translocation chromosome is designated as T1BL·1BS-3Ae#1L. T1BL·1BS-3Ae#1L was inherited from Teewon wheat and carries resistance genes to stem rust (Sr24) and leaf rust (Lr24). The Agropyron chromosome segments in different Sr24/Lr24 carrier wheat lines, including Agent, TAP 48, TAP 67, Teewon, and Amigo, showed a diagnostic C-band, and were derived from the same chromosome, 3Ae#1.

Lampbrush Chromosomes
LBCs are made up of two pairs of conjugating homologous chromatids. Each chromatid consists of alternatively positioned regions of condensed-inactive chromatin and loosely placed-active side loops, which can be contracted and extended. The loops...
