Genomic in situ hybridization showing recombination between Ae. speltoides and the B and D genomes of wheat. (A) GISH analysis of a 41-chromosome BC3F1 individual. Metaphase spread with labelled genomic Ae. speltoides DNA as probe showing Ae. speltoides (green) introgressions (white arrows). (B) Same metaphase spread as (A) with three-colour GISH showing Ae. speltoides recombined with the D genome (red arrows). Enlarged inset shows one of the recombined chromosomes. This individual carries 14 A chromosomes (green), 13 B chromosomes (purple), 12 D chromosomes (red) and two wheat/Ae. speltoides 2S recombinant chromosomes (the segment of the D genome is red and marked with the red arrow). (C) GISH analysis of a 42-chromosome BC5 individual. Metaphase spread with labelled genomic Ae. speltoides (green) DNA as probe showing one complete Ae. speltoides chromosome (blue arrow) from linkage group 2S and one wheat/Ae. speltoides recombined chromosome (white arrow) from Ae. speltoides linkage group 5S. (D) Same metaphase spread as (C) with three-colour GISH showing Ae. speltoides recombined with the B genome (yellow arrow). Enlarged insert shows the recombined chromosome. This individual carries 14 A chromosomes (green), 12 B chromosomes (purple), 14 D chromosomes (red), one complete Ae. speltoides chromosome (purple) and one wheat/Ae. speltoides recombinant chromosome (purple).
