It is hypothesized that, in plants, genetically empty B chromosomes may originate from the extra chromosome (E) of tertiary trisomics if (i) the region of basic chromosomes homologous to the E (H-region) harbors a sporophytic lethal covered by the wild-type allele in E, and (ii) crossing-over between E and the H-region is suppressed. Under these conditions, most loss-of-function mutations occurring in the H-region are deleterious for haploid gametophytes, whereas those occurring in E are neutral or advantageous for hyperploid (n+1) gametophytes. As a result, natural selection at the gametophyte level can lead to the degeneration of E, leaving the H-region intact.

Polymorphism in ten enzyme systems (ACO, ACP, AAT, EST, FK, ME, NAG, PRX, 6PGD, and SOD) in Vicia faba L. was analyzed, revealing 13 loci, six of which have not been reported before. Inheritance, genetics, possible location, and linkage analysis were studied in 13 different F(2) populations trisomic for four of the six chromosomes (nos.
