Developments in the meiotic analysis of hybrids. V. Second-order models for tetraploids and pentaploids
1992
Chapman, C.G.D. | Kimber, G.
'Second-order' models for meiotic analysis have been developed for tetraploid and pentaploid hybrids to address a number of situations intermediate between the established 'first-order' models. They all incorporate a third parameter of relative affinity, z, intermediate between x and y, the relative affinities of the most and least closely related genomes respectively. Four such models are described: a 2:(1:1) and a (2:1):1 for tetraploid hybrids; and a 2:(1:1):1 and a (2:1):1:1 for pentaploid hybrids. Examples of their application are given. Where z approximately equals x, or z approximately equals y, then interpretation through the simpler first-order models is appropriate. In other cases application of second-order models can reveal more subtle relationships among the genomes in a hybrid.
