Multicolor genomic in situ hybridization was used to investigate the genomic constitution and intergenomic translocations in the Elymus dahuricus complex. The genomic constitution of species of the E. dahuricus complex was confirmed as StYH. H/Y and H/St intergenomic translocations were identified in the present study, with 7H and 1Y chromosomes involved in reciprocal translocations for all the accessions investigated in the complex. We propose that the translocations in the E. dahuricus complex are species-specific, associated with allopolyploidy, and may serve as important structural alterations for allopolyploid stability. Furthermore, they may help to restore fertility and nucleocytoplasmic compatibility in a newly formed polyploid and facilitate the successful establishment of E. dahuricus as a stable species. It was found that more chromosomes were involved in translocations and more types of intergenomic translocations were observed in the high altitude (4150 m) population Y 2228 than in populations from relatively lower altitudes (2600-3800 m). We speculate that more complicated genomic changes were associated with escalating altitudes in the Tibetan Plateau. These genomic changes contribute to promote the genetic variability and enable the newly formed allopolyploids to adapt to more changeable and harsher environments during the evolution of a polyploid species, thus facilitating their rapid and successful establishment in nature.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the genomic similarities and differences within the BOP clade of the Poaceae family, particularly focusing on the genomes of rice, Brachypodium, and various diploid species in the tribe Aveneae, revealing significant genomic expansions and structural variations.
- - Findings show that Avena chromosomes experienced a ten to fifteen-fold increase in size, characterized by uniform expansions, conserved gene block arrangements, and notable translocations of gene-rich segments during speciation, indicating deep evolutionary relationships.
- - This research enhances understanding of evolutionary processes in the BOP clade, offering insights that can aid in biodiversity assessment, the creation of a comprehensive pangenome, and utilizing genomic diversity for breeding initiatives in grass species.

The association between polyploidy and reproduction transition, which is an intriguing issue in evolutionary genetics, can also be exploited as an approach for genetic improvement in agriculture. Recently, we generated novel amphitriploids (NA3n) by integrating the genomes of the gynogenetic Carassius gibelio and sexual C. auratus, and found gynogenesis was recovered in most NA3n females (NA3n♀I).

By hybridization and special sexual reproduction, we sequentially aggregated Zea mays, Zea perennis, and Tripsacum dactyloides in an allohexaploid, backcrossed it with maize, derived self-fertile allotetraploids of maize and Z. perennis by natural genome extraction, extended their first six selfed generations, and finally constructed amphitetraploid maize using nascent allotetraploids as a genetic bridge. Transgenerational chromosome inheritance, subgenome stability, chromosome pairings and rearrangements, and their impacts on an organism's fitness were investigated by fertility phenotyping and molecular cytogenetic techniques genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).

Background: Chromosomal variations have been revealed in both E. sibiricus and E. nutans, but chromosomal structural variations, such as intra-genome translocations and inversions, are still not recognized due to the cytological limitations of previous studies.

Structural chromosome rearrangements involving translocations, fusions and fissions lead to evolutionary variation between species and potentially reproductive isolation and variation in gene expression. While the wheats (Triticeae, Poaceae) and oats (Aveneae) all maintain a basic chromosome number of =7, genomes of oats show frequent intergenomic translocations, in contrast to wheats where these translocations are relatively rare. We aimed to show genome structural diversity and genome relationships in tetraploid, hexaploid and octoploid species and amphiploids, establishing patterns of intergenomic translocations across different oat taxa using fluorescence hybridization (FISH) with four well-characterized repetitive DNA sequences: pAs120, AF226603, Ast-R171 and Ast-T116.
