Abstract
Barjaktarović N. (1984): Subtle segregation in harlequin-stained chromosomes. - Genetika, Vol. 16, No. 3, 205-209.
With careful FPG staining, chromosomes of the third and subsequent cell division can show further orders of colour segregation, which might be expected from a monofilar/bifilar BUdR substitution. On the basis of template hypothesis, one can make some interesting predictions about the staining appearances of chromosomes which carry or have carried SCE. Putting all possibilities together, a total of five different chromosome staining patterns are predicted for M3 cells, and all of them have been seen in human lymphocytes. For M4 cells a total of nine possible chromosome staining patterns are predicted, and all of them could be seen in reverse stained preparations.
Whilst the template hypothesis will account for these observations, the underlying mechanism, is not at all obvious up to now.

Abstract
Jokšić, G., Popović K., Kostić V. and Barjaktarović N. (1984): Partial trisomy 2q+ as a result of a balanced transhcation (1; 2). - Genetika, Vol. 16, No. 3, 211-214.
In this paper a case of partial trisomy for the distal part of the long arm of chromosome 2 is presented. The child was born with multiple anomalies and the cytogenetic analysis showed the karyotype 46, XX, lq+. The analyses of the parents showed that the mother had a normal chromosome complement, but the father was a carries of a balanced translocation (1; 2) and the karyotype was established as: 46, XY, t(l; 2) (Iq43; 2q33). Since this was the first child from the first pregnancy, it will be necessary to carry out prenatal investigations in the case of a subsequent pregnancy. According to the literature this seems to be a very rare aberration.

Abstract
Petković, I. (1984): C-Heterochromatin variability of chromosomes 1, 9 and 16 in patients with inborn chromosome aberrations. - Genetika, Vol. 16, No. 3, 215-221.
Data from the literature suggest that a biological role for heterochromatic variants can be sought in great chromosome instability. The aim of this investigation was to test the caused connection of constitutive heterochromatin variation and inborn chromosome aberrations. The heterochromatic segments of chromosomes 1,9 and 16 were investigated in 39 patients with inborn chromosome abberrations and 90 normal controls. The analysis was made on preparations from peripheral blood cultures, stained by the C-banding technique. Analysis of C-segment size was made quantitative by measuring the length. In the group of patients the length of the C-segment of chromosomes 1, 9 and 16 was significantly greater and the frequency of homologue heteromorphism was twice as high compared to the controls. .

Singh AK, Singh H.G. and Singh S P. (1984): Genetic analysis of yield, yield components and protein content in macaroni wheat (Triticum durum Desf.). - Genetika, Vol. 16, No. 3, 233-243.
Two sets of materials, 34 parents and 120 F1's involving 30 females and 4 males (Raj 912, HD 4502, Meghdoot and NP 404) were tested in the adjacent blocks of the same field at Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur during 1973-74. Additive gene action was predominant for days to flower, plant height, number & weight of kernels per spike and protein content whereas non-additive gene action played major role in the inheritance of days to maturity, number of spikes per plant, length of spike, 1000-kernel weight and grain yield. All types of gene interaction, additive x additive, additive x dominance and dominance x dominance were observed. HD 4502 followed by Raj 912 among males and MPO 164 followed by Motia and MACS 36 among females were best general combiners. Best high yielding crosses were HI 7597 x HD 4502, MPO 164 x NP 404, A 206 x NP 404, HI 7710 x HD 4502 and MPO 141 x NP 404. Parents and crosses were critically evaluated for their combining ability effects and per se performance and the latter was emphasized. Biparental matings followed by recurrent selection, pedigree method of selection and diallel selective matings were suggested as breeding methods.

The afila gene of the Pisum genome causes formation of branched tendrils instead of leaflets resulting in a strong increase of the standing ability of the plants. Twelve recombinant lines of different genotypic constitution, homozygous for afila and other genes or gene groups, were studied with regard to plant height, flowering behaviour, seed and protein production. The high productivity of some long-stemmed, late flowering afila recombinants is negatively influenced by the reduced seed size.
The expected increase of the yield by combining afila with genes for apical stem fascination did not occur because of negative interactions between the mutant genes involved. Gene efr for earliness, however, was found to cooperate positively with afila. The afila recombinant R 832 shows good seed and protein production and flowers about 10 days earlier than the mother variety used for our radiation genetic experiments. As compared to the late flowering afila genotypes, the difference in flowing and ripening time is considerably more pronounced. This recombinant represents a prospective material for breeding purposes.

Abstract
Gottschalk W. and Eweda M. (1984): Seed and protein, production of afila genotypes of Pisum sativum. II. Interactions between afila and other genes influencing leaf structure. - Genetika, Vol. 16; No. 3, 255-261.
Eight different afila recombinants of Pisum sativum with strongly divergent leaf structures were studied with regard to plant height, flowering time, seed and protein production. The afila gene (tendrils instead of leaflets) is combined with gene tlw (acacia leaf with leaflets instead of tendrils) and the cochkata gene (reduced stipules). The late flowering, tall afila /acacia types have good seed production which is reduced under the influence of gene efr for earliness. They have about 400-500 tiny leaflets per leaf but no tendrils (pleiofila leaf).
The combination of afila and cochkata results in "leafless peas" having only tendril-like organs. Their productivity is very low due to the strongly decreased leaf area available for photosynthesis. Recombinants of the constitution afila / acacia / cochkata have extremely subdivided leaves with almost 1000 tiny leaflets per leaf and without tendrils. Tall genotypes of this category are very low in seed production whereas a short-stemmed genotype of this group is completely seed sterile.
All genotypes studied have a reduced grain size. The protein content of the seed meal is not significantly altered under the influence of the mutant genes.

INFLUENCE OF ALUMINIUM ON MAIZE PLANTS OF DIFFERENTGENOTYPES

Abstract
Denić, M. and Vidaković, M. (1984): Influence of aluminium on maize plants of different genotypes. - Genetika, Vol. 16. No. 3, 263-276,
Soil acidity, accompanied by Al toxicity, and by Ca and or Mg deficiency, are the main reasons for infertility of some tropical soils. In the case of cereals, Al toxicity is the main factor limiting yields in mineral acid soils of pH below 5.0. Therefore breeding plants for tolerance to acidic soils is receiving more attention particularly in developing countries, rather than the approach of changing the soil to fit the plant.
The data obtained show that the height of mature plants at the location with affected plants was reduced more than 60% in comparison with nonaffected plants. The amounts of mineral elements P, K, Ca and Mg (with the exception of P in the aerial parts) were reduced in the affected plants. In the soil at the location with affected plants the concentration of Al was several times higher in comparison with the location with nonaffected plants. Soil acidity at the location with affected plants was increased. In the contrary, concentrations of Ca and Mg were several times lower in the soil at the location with affected plants. Consequently, large differences were found in % of Al + H saturation and % of base saturation between the soils at these two locations.
Plants grown in nutrient media with 0.25 mM Al showed low fresh and dry weights and reduced water content of roots and shoots. In all cases inbred lines exhibited a lower reduction in the weight of fresh shoots than the reduction of the weight of fresh roots. However, the most Al tolerant material exhibited a higher shoot weight reduction than the root weight reduction. Variations in Al tolerance among different genotypes are in agreement with literature data that this trait is under genetic control.

Abstract
Mišević D. and Aleksander D.E. (1984): Effect of Seed Parent on Percent Oil in F2 Kernels of Maize. - Genetika, Vol. 16, No. 3, 277-281.
In order to study potential cytoplasmic effects on percent oil in F2 kernels, and importance of cytoplasm on the choice of seed parent in commercial seed production, we selected nine high oil maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids that have been used, or could be potentially useful in commercial high oil hybrid production. The selected hybrids were crosses between inbred B73 and nine high-performing experimental inbreds, developed from Alexho Elite high oil population. Hybrids and their reciprocal crosses were grown in a randomized complete block design with two replications, at the University of Illinois South Farm in Urbana, Illinois in 1982 and 1983. Five to six plants per plot were selfed, and percent oil determined by wide-line NMR on bulked samples of theJF2 kernels. The significant factors for variation in percent oil in F2 kernels were years and hybrids. Reciprocal differences were not significant in this group of hybrids. Factors other than percent oil should influence the choice of seed parent in commercial production of these hybrids.
