The durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var. durum) cultivar 'Vic' was treated with the chemical mutagen N-methyl-N′-nitrosourea and among the M2 progeny a mutant with "chocolate chaff" (designated cc) was identified. Genetic analyses indicated that chocolate chaff is due to a single recessive gene mutation. The penetrance of the gene for chocolate chaff was environmentally influenced and varied from dark blotches on the glumes to complete coloration of culms as well as spikes. To determine the chromosomal location of the gene, the mutant was crossed with a set of 'Langdon' durum disomic substitution lines in which each of the 14 A- and B-genome chromosomes of durum wheat were replaced by their respective D-genome homoeologues. The segregation of cc was normal in all of the crosses except for those with the 7D(7A) and 7D(7B) lines. Cytogenetic analysis indicated that the gene was located on chromosome 7B, and that chromosome 7D has a gene that prevents the expression of cc when present in one or more copies. It was shown that the 'Langdon' D-genome disomic substitution lines can be used to determine the chromosomal location of genes in tetraploid wheat.Key words: Triticum turgidum, aneuploid, chromosome substitution, monosomic, cytogenetics.

An aneuploid durum wheat line (Triticum turgidum L. var. durum) having 13 chromosome pairs and 2 unpaired chromosomes at metaphase I of meiosis in pollen mother cells (i.e., monosomic for chromosomes 7A and 7D) was observed to produce some progeny plants with 2n = 40 chromosomes. These aneuploid (triploid) plants were usually weak and sterile. Triploid plants also occurred in the progeny of durum plants monosomic for chromosome 7A, or in progeny of plants that were mono-telodisomic or ditelomonotelosomic for chromosome 7Aq (13 II + 1 t II or 13 II + t II + t I) but not in the progeny of plants ditelomonotelosomic for chromosome 7Ap (13 II + t II + t 1). Therefore, there is a gene(s) on chromosome arm 7Ap that prevents the production of diploid (2n) egg cells in wheat. In the absence of 7Ap, a portion of the egg cells have 26 chromosomes, which when fertilized with a pollen nucleus with 14 chromosomes, produces progeny plants with 2n = 40 chromosomes. The data also indicated that chromosome arm 7Dp probably contains a second gene that is capable of preventing the production of triploid plants. Key words: Triticum turgidum L. var. durum, polyploidy, aneuploid, triploid, monosomic.
