Comment	In monosomic additions of chromosomes with gametocidal effects, chromosome deletions and translocations are produced in gametes not having the gametocidal genes. This feature has been exploited to isolate genetic stocks suitable for physical mapping of wheat chromosomes (Endo and Gill, 1996), and of rye (Endo et al., 1994) and barley (Shi and Endo, 1997; 1999; 2000) chromosomes in a wheat background. Gametocidal genes in chromosomes in the same homoeologous group have the same gametocidal action (Endo, 1990). In addition to these genes, chromosomes carrying gametocidal genes occur in Ae. caudata (Endo and Katayama, 1978), Ae. cylindrica (Endo, 1988), and other strains of Ae. longissima and Ae. sharonensis (Endo, 1985; Tsujimoto, 1994).
