Cytogenetic Analysis of Cotton Monosomics

Eleven monosomics in cotton that were obtained in the progenies of three disomic desynaptic plants were cytologically characterized. The transmission of the monosomes in progeny was shown in the 26 monosomic plants. In 23 plants the frequency of monosomics was ranged between 14.29 and 41.67 %. Three monosomics usually occurred in much lower frequencies (from 3.03 to 5.00 %). Various transmission rates indirectly pointed out different monosomes as a specific chromosomes of cotton genome. Three telochromosomes and one isochromosome were isolated from the progenies of the four monosomics. Using translocation test it was recovered that seven monosomes of different monosomics are homologous to one of the chromosomes of six translocation lines of our collection.
