General DiscussionFig. 6.3. A comparison <strong>of</strong> detect<strong>in</strong>g efficiency <strong>of</strong> cross<strong>in</strong>g over events <strong>in</strong> the unreduced gametesresulted from a FDR or SDR meiosis. Numbers stand for recomb<strong>in</strong>ation sites detected by <strong>molecular</strong>markers. In some cases, GISH is more accurate when detect<strong>in</strong>g reciprocal products (<strong>in</strong> brackets)Meiotic abnormalities <strong>in</strong> lily hybridsDifferent types <strong>of</strong> meiotic irregularities has been found dur<strong>in</strong>g meiosis <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>terspecific hybrids<strong>of</strong> lily. Homoeologous <strong>chromosome</strong> pair<strong>in</strong>g as well as univalents is one <strong>of</strong> the ma<strong>in</strong> featuresat metaphase I dur<strong>in</strong>g meiosis <strong>of</strong> lily hybrids. Bivalent numbers rang<strong>in</strong>g from 0 to 12 as wellas univalents are present. These bivalents predom<strong>in</strong>antly <strong>in</strong>volve homoeologous <strong>chromosome</strong>pair<strong>in</strong>g, while the univalents are <strong>chromosome</strong>s with failed association (Chapter 3; Barba-Gonzalez et al. 2005a; Lim et al. 2001a; Zhou et al. 2008a). Except homoeologous bivalentsand univalents, abnormal pair<strong>in</strong>g is also observed <strong>in</strong> some <strong>of</strong> the genotypes <strong>of</strong> lily hybrids(Chapter 3). Multivalents and non-homologous bivalents have been found <strong>in</strong> two <strong>of</strong> LAhybrids, and it has been proven that a reciprocal translocation exists <strong>in</strong> the paternal parent‘Connecticut K<strong>in</strong>g’ (Chapter 3). Another abnormality is the <strong>chromosome</strong> disjo<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g atanaphase stage <strong>in</strong> the first division. Bivalents divided <strong>in</strong>to two half-bivalents normally,whereas two chromatids <strong>of</strong> a univalent segregated and moved to different poles (Chapter 3;Lim et al. 2001a; Zhou et al. 2008a). Chromosome breakage also contributes to theirregularity <strong>of</strong> meiosis. At both metaphase and anaphase I stages, broken <strong>chromosome</strong>s have79
