Abstract
Chromosome pairing in the triploid hybrid Avena damascena × A. macrostachya is very similar to the chromosome pairing observed in previously reported triploid hybrids involving the A genome diploid taxa A. atlantica and A. prostrata, indicating that little more than residual homology remains between these A genome diploids and either of the genomes of A. macrostachya. The chromosome pairing in the hybrid between A. macrostachya and the C genome diploid A. ventricosa is similar to that observed in the previously reported hybrid A. eriantha × A. macrostachya. In both these hybrids, the frequency of trivalents is greater than that observed in hybrids involving the A genome species and A. macrostachya, which is indicative of closer homology of A. macrostachya to the C genome diploids than the A genome diploids.Key words: Avena, hybrids, interspecific chromosome pairing, phylogeny.
