Hybrids including Hystrix patula, H. duthiei and H. longearistata were obtained and genetic relationships among them were studied. Meiotic pairing in hybrids of H. duthiei × Psathyrostachys juncea (Ns), H. longearistata × Psa. juncea (Ns), Leymus multicaulis (NsXm) × H. duthiei, L. multicaulis (NsXm) × H. longearistata, Elymus sibiricus (StH) × H. patula, Roegneria ciliaris (StY) × H. patula, R. ciliaris (StY) × H. duthiei and R. ciliaris (StY) × H. longearistata averaged 5.76, 5.44, 11.94, 10.88, 10.08, 3.57, 0.46 and 0.90 bivalents per cell, respectively. The results indicated that H. duthiei and H. longearistata had the NsXm genomes of Leymus, while H. patula contained the StH genomes and had a low genome affinity with the StY genomes of Roegneria. Results of genome-specific RAPD assay were comparable with the chromosome pairing data. According to the genomic system of classification in Triticeae, H. patula should be considered as Elymus hystrix L., while H. duthiei and H. longearistata as Leymus duthiei and Leymus duthiei ssp. longearistata, respectively.
