Abstract: A total of eleven collections from North and South Dakota belonging to the grass tribe Hordeae were studied in detail to determine the extent of meiotic irregularity. Two collections of Agropyron trachycaulum and Hordeum jubatum were most regular with a high chiasma frequency and all the other nine collections of Agropyron spp., Elymus virginicus, and Hordeum jubatum had several irregularities in their meiotic behavior and varied chiasma frequency. A comparison of the present data with earlier studies shows some differing observations which are attributed to natural hybridization with related taxa.Help rendered by Mr. Peter Bunde and Mrs. Manda Borgaonkar in this study is appreciated.
