Abstract

A total of 80 Triticale lines was evaluated for meiotic stability, pollen and seed fertility. Sufficient variation between the lines was found in respect of all the three characters. Further, no correlation could be established between meiotic irregularity and pollen fertility, meiotic irregularity and seed fertility as well as between pollen fertility and seed fertility. Meiotic irregularity was supposed to be due to lack of coordination in meiotic rhythms between the chromosomes of the two parental genomes. The significant interline variation in seed fertility should indicate the possibility of developing highly fertile lines through selection.
