Abstract
Dhillon, T. S., and E. D. Garber. (U. Chicago, Chicago, Ill.) The genus Collinsia. XVI. Supernumerary chromosomes. Amer. Jour. Bot. 49 (2) : 168–170. 1962.—The pairing and transmission of supernumerary chromosomes in Collinsia solitaria and in hybrids between C. sparsiflora subsp. arvensis and C. bruceae were studied. Two supernumerary chromosomes usually formed a bivalent with 1 chiasma at metaphase I; 4 supernumerary chromosomes occasionally yielded a trivalent and univalent at this stage. Plants with 2–4 supernumerary chromosomes were fertile and plants with 5–8, sterile. Plants with a given number of supernumerary chromosomes when used as seed or pollen parent gave gametes with a higher number of such chromosomes.
