본 연구에서는 양파와 파간 종간교잡 F1의 불임성의 한 요인으로 여겨지는 염색체 이상과 교잡식물체의 염색체의 조성을 밝혀 향후 종간교잡을 이용한 양파의 형질개량과정에 종간교잡 육종의 효율성을 높이고자 하였다. 종간교잡식물체의 감수분열 염색체를 관찰한 결과 중기에 7쌍의 2가염색체와 2개의 1가염색체가 관찰되었다. 체세포 염색체수는 16개로 양파, 파의 염색체 수와 같았으며 GISH한 결과 파와 양파의 염색체가 각각 8개씩 확인되었다. 5S, 45S, T
Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) were used for chromosome analysis of hybrids (2n=16) between onion (Allium cepa L., 2n=2X=16) and welsh onion (A. fistulosum L., 2n=2X=16). 5S rDNA, 45S rDNA, and tandemly repeated DNA (TSD) sequence were used as probes for FISH analysis. A. fistulosum specific DNA probe of telomeric repeats and A. fistulosum DNA were used for GISH analysis. In the analysis of meiotic chromosome GISH revealed that hybrids have 7 bivalants and 2 univalents chromosome and 2 univalents were derived from A. fistulosum chromosomes. In somatic chromosomes of hybrid each 8 chromosomes were derived from A. cepa and A. fistulosum, respectively. FISH signal of 45S rDNA probe in A. fistulosum was detected at secondary constriction of chromosomes, while FISH signal in A. cepa was observed in both secondary constriction and telomere of chromosomes. TDS signals in A. fistulosum chromosomes were detected at all subtelomeric of 8 chromosomes and also in 2 pericentromeric of the chromosomes, whereas TDS signals in A. cepa were observed only in subtelomeric in all chromosomes. The pattern of TDS signal in hybrid chromosomes was similar to those of A. fistulosum chromosomes.
