Abstract:

Lophopyrum elongatum is a wild relative of wheat that has excellent traits such as cold resistance, drought resistance and disease resistance. In order to transfer the desirable genes of Th. elongatum into wheat, hybrid, selfing and backcross were done between ‘Chinese spring’-Th. elongatum 1E disomic addition line and ‘Chinese spring’-Ae. cylindrica gametocidal chromosome 2C disomic addition line, the cytological and morphological characteristics of offspring were observed. Chromosome aberrations were observed in the mitosis and meiosis, the seed-setting rate of F1 was lower significantly compared with parents, the spike separation was observed in the hybrids, in addition to the normal spike, we also observed the compactoid. This study showed that, gametocidal chromosome 2C could induce chromosome aberrations and had a certain influence to seed-setting rate and spike. These results provided a good basis for further developing wheat-Th. elongatum 1E chromosome translocation and deletion lines.
