General Introductionprocess <strong>of</strong> meiosis such as chiasmata formation and cross<strong>in</strong>g over were critically analyzedus<strong>in</strong>g GISH and FISH. Some genotypes, which showed a low fertility (others highly sterile),were backcrossed with their Asiatic parent, and the triploid progeny derived from sexualpolyploidization were evaluated for their <strong>in</strong>tergenomic recomb<strong>in</strong>ation. The thesis is structuredas follow:Chapter 2 provides a comparison <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>tergenomic recomb<strong>in</strong>ation <strong>in</strong> different populations(meiotic and mitotic polyploidized progenies), and traces the orig<strong>in</strong> <strong>of</strong> these recomb<strong>in</strong>ation byscor<strong>in</strong>g the frequency <strong>of</strong> reciprocal and nonreciprocal products and analyz<strong>in</strong>g the process <strong>of</strong>meiosis <strong>in</strong> the <strong>in</strong>terspecific hybrids <strong>of</strong> LA lilies.Chapter 3 presents the GISH-<strong>analysis</strong> <strong>of</strong> association and cross<strong>in</strong>g over events <strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>terspecific LA-hybrids, and the statistics <strong>of</strong> different types <strong>of</strong> cross<strong>in</strong>g over.In chapter 4, structural variation was characterized accord<strong>in</strong>g to the bridge production and<strong>chromosome</strong> breakage dur<strong>in</strong>g meiosis, and the bridges was expla<strong>in</strong>ed as the occurrence <strong>of</strong> U-type exchanges.Chapter 5 reports the observation <strong>of</strong> two types <strong>of</strong> aberrant small <strong>chromosome</strong>s (de novoand exist<strong>in</strong>g), and characterized them us<strong>in</strong>g GISH and FISH with different probes.In chapter 6 the general discussion the occurrence <strong>of</strong> <strong>chromosome</strong> rearrangements as wellas polyploidization and their significance <strong>in</strong> genetic mapp<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> <strong>Lilium</strong> are discussed and thepotential utilization <strong>of</strong> different <strong>chromosome</strong> rearrangements were prospected.13
