Crossing and Setting of Hybrid Seeds in the Creation of Chromosome-Substituted Cotton Lines g. Hirsutum l.

Abstract

A comparative study of the indicators of crossability and setting of hybrid and backcross seeds F1, F1BC1, F1BC2, obtained from crossings of monosomic and monotelodisomic lines of cotton G.hirsutum L. with the donor line Pima 3-79 of the species G.barbadense L. and aneuploid backcross hybrids, was found to be a linear decrease of these indicators in some hybrids, as well as their increase, as well as the alternation of indicators of crossability and setting in different hybrid generations. The study of chromosome conjugation in hybrid monosomic F1 obtained from crossing monosomic lines with the donor line Pima 3-79 of the species G. barbadense L., as well as backcross monosomic F1BC1, F1BC2 with the replacement of specific chromosomes of the cotton genome, revealed normal chromosome conjugation with the formation of 25 bivalents and one univalent of different size in all studied PMCs in most hybrids.
