2. Hypoaneuploid

a) Monotelodisomic: Sears (1966) first reported gene-centromere distance with the aid of telocentrics in wheat. Neatby's virescent gene (v) on the short arm of chromosome 3B was located at 0.28 crossover unit from the centromere. And the loci on the long arm of 6B, Sr11, Ki, and B2 were 45.1%, 41.3% and 0.44% apart from the centromere, respectively. A dominant marker on the monosomic arm of complete chromosome in montelodisomic, Co in the case of Dr. Sears, marks transmission of the complete chromosome to the offspring and can more or less save cytological determination of chromosome complement. In comparison with disomic or conventional analysis, reduction of amout of crossing over in the centromere region is a problem that deserves careful attention. Sears (1972) investigated crossover values in the heterozygote both for the markers (Sr11 and B2) on the long arm and for umbellulata segment substituted for most of the short arm of 6B, but the remaining segment being still enough to make the pairing conditions different from a monotelodisomic for the long arm of 6B. The recombination value of 3.5% was obtained in the region from B2 to the proximal end of umbellulata segment across the centromere, which indicates four fold increase in frequency of crossing-over in comparison with those obtained by using the respective telosomes. Endrizzi and Kohel (1966) had reported decrease in recombination value comparable to Sears as well as compensatory increase in recombination value in monotelodisomic cotton.

Nishikawa et al (1974) reported recombination values of two complementary genes for progressive necrosis with the centromere, 10.5% for Ne1 and 9.4% for Ne2, obtained by the telocentric method. The Distance from the centromere of alpha-amylase isozyme loci on the long arm of three chromosomes of homoeologous gourp 6 were determined as shown in
Fig. 2 (Nishikawa et al unpublished). There is no information on shift of recombination frequency in these cases.

b) Doubletelotrisomic: Doubletelotrisomic is as vigorous as disomic and can be used for genetic analysis in diploid as well as polyploid plants. An albino plant (ditelo2BL-monotelo2BS) of durum LD 222 occurred from the cross of a green plant of ditelo2BL-monotelo2BS with heterozygous (A/a) doubleditelosomic for 2B, indicates that the albino gene is located on short arm of 2B. Recombination value of 6.0% with the centromere was obtained from progenies of selfed heterozygous (A/a) doubletelotrisomic. Though there seems to be few, if any, paper reporting it, doubletelotrisomic analysis should be recommended for genetic mapping, because it is not only applicable to diploid and polyploid plants, but makes it possible to estimate the recombination value and position of centromere, if the both arms of a chromosome involved are properly marked.

Mase et al (1989) investigated F2 segregation of the hybrid of doubleditelosomic for chromosome 1 with a multiple marker line (BGN 1008: 1k2, n on the long arm and f8 on the short arm, Tsuchiya 1985). The recombination values obtained are shown in
Fig. 3 together with those from conventional method. It is obvious that recombination in n-f8 region is reduced, and that in 1k2-n region further apart from centromere is increased in the telocentric method as compared with the conventional method. This seems to be a phenomenon that commonly occurs in use of the telocentrics. In contrast to Tsuchiya (1985) the recombination values indicate that gene f8 is located on the long arm.
