We focus on the identification of complete and recombined ribosomal DNA-bearing chromosomes, and the dynamics of chromosomal number and position of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) loci in the F₂-F₄ generations derived from the F₁ hybrid of Festuca pratensis Huds. (2n = 4x = 28) × Lolium perenne L. (2n = 4x = 28). Lolium genomic DNA and rRNA genes were mapped by means of genomic and fluorescence in situ hybridization (GISH and FISH). The results revealed that plants of the three generations share various rDNA loci profiles with chromosome structural changes, possibly as a result of chromosomal inter- and intra-rearrangements. We observed an asymmetrical variation in the number of recombinant arms with and without rDNA loci between parental genomes. The Lolium genome was more affected by rearrangements in arms with rDNA loci, while Festuca was more affected in arms without them. Statistically significant differences between L. perenne and F. pratensis genomes concerned the number of recombined chromosomes without rDNA, and the number of recombined rDNA-bearing chromosomal arms of marked chromosomes, showing a tendency of F. pratensis genome-like chromosomes to be less stable, compared with L. perenne. We postulate a novel genome-dependent range and type of chromosome variation in plants of the F₂-F₄ generations derived from F. pratensis × L. perenne hybrid.
