Abstract：
:The r-X1 deficiency in maize induces nondisjunction at the second mitotic division during embryo sac formation. However, it was not known if this deficiency also induces nondisjunction during the microspore divisions. Microsporogenesis in plants lacking or containing this deficiency was compared using two approaches. First, chromosome numbers were determined in generative nuclei. Many (8.3%) of the generative nuclei in r-X1-containing plants were aneuploid; however, those from control plants were all haploid. Thus, this deficiency induces nondisjunction during the first microspore division. Second, nucleoli were analyzed in microspores. The only nucleolar organizing region in maize is on chromosome 6. If chromosome 6 underwent nondisjunction during the first microspore division, one nucleus in binucleate microspores would contain no nucleolus and the other would contain two nucleoli (or one nucleolus if the nucleoli fused). Only one (0.03%) microspore of this type was observed in control plants while 1.12% were found in r-X1-containing plants. Thus, the r-X1 deficiency induces nondisjunction of chromosome 6 during the first microspore division. However, both of the sperm nuclei in trinucleate microspores contained one nucleolus in r-X1-containing and control plants; thus, this deficiency does not induce nondisjunction of chromosome 6 (and presumably other chromosomes) during the second microspore division.
