Chromosome 5R of Secale cereale var. Imperial has been substituted for chromosomes 5A, 5B and 5D of hexaploid wheat. There is evidence of compensation, in terms of vigour, in all substitution lines. Chromosome 5R rectifies the male sterility of nullisomics 5A and 5D; however, it is unable to circumvent the meiotic irregularity and male sterility of 5B-deficient stocks. Another instance of wheat-rye chromosome pairing, in the absence of chromosome 5B, is reported. The data reported here demonstrate that the long arm of 5R is the more essential arm and indicate that chromosome 5R is homoeologously related to the group 5 chromosomes of wheat.
