As it is evident from Table 3, chromosomes 4A, 4D, 1B, 1D, 2B and 6D in hybrids F1 CS x Norrona, and 3A, 4B, 1B, 3D, 6B and 7D in hybrids F1 CS x T-13 are involved in translocations. On the basis of the frequency of trivalent formations we believe that the chromosomal interchanges between varieties Norrona and CS involve 4A/4D, 1B/1D and 2B/6D, whereas the mutant T-13 has reciprocal translocations 3A/4B, 1B/3D and 6B/7D in relation to the variety CS. The occurrence of low frequency of trivalent and quadrivalent formations in almost all monosomic and disomic F1 hybrids is probably indication of rather small chromosome segments being involved in translocations. The exception is only the interchange 4A/4D in cross CS x Norrona, including a comparatively large segment of chromosome 4A, the evidence of this came from high rate, 30.95 per cent, of trivalent configuration in this line.
