Autosyndetic pairing in Gibasis (Commelinaceae) hybrids revealed by C-banding

Two closely related species of Gibasis, G. karwinskyana and G. consobrina , and their F sub(1) hybrids were studied cytologically at the diploid and tetraploid level. Despite similarity in their basic karyotype, pairing was extremely limited in the diploid hybrid and almost exclusively autosyndetic...

Zusammenfassung:Two closely related species of Gibasis, G. karwinskyana and G. consobrina , and their F sub(1) hybrids were studied cytologically at the diploid and tetraploid level. Despite similarity in their basic karyotype, pairing was extremely limited in the diploid hybrid and almost exclusively autosyndetic in the tetraploid, except for multivalent formation due to interchange heterozygosity. The analysis was considerably facilitated by the use of C-banding techniques at meiosis, by which the chromosomes of each species could be readily identified.
