Triticales (× Triticosecale Wittmack) are being employed as a source of rye (Secale cereale L.) chromatin for the introduction of specific agronomic characters into wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell.). The rye chromosomes present in plants of the first and second generations of a backcrossing program have been identified using a radioactive in situ probe which hybridizes to specific sites on the rye chromosomes. We show that homologous pairs of rye chromosomes are present by the second generation which should thereby ensure their eventual substitution. Furthermore, rye telosomes and a wheat-rye chromosome translocation involving 5RL were also observed as possibly useful modifications of the rye chromosomes in this breeding program.

Moisture Conditions

Winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and rye (Secale cereale L.) were seeded into stubble the first week of September and October on four different years at a total of 11 sites in the central, eastern and northern part of the agricultural region of Saskatchewan. The average response to delayed seeding was a reduction in yield and hectolitre weight for both species. In contrast, date of seeding did not have a large influence on kernel size. A significant environmental effect was observed for all characters measured. Productivity of both wheat and rye was high when moisture conditions were adequate. Average yield of rye was higher and 1000-kernel and hectolitre weight lower than for wheat. Significant first and second order interactions demonstrated that the effects of seeding date, species and environment were not independent. These interactions were of sufficient magnitude to introduce a risk factor which should be taken into consideration when conclusions are drawn on the influence of seeding date on yield and other agronomic characters of stubble-seeded winter cereals.Key words: Triticum aestivum L., Secale cereale L., yield, hectolitre weight, kernel size, seeding date

Many changes occur within the cytoplasm of plant cells during cold acclimation. However, the cause and effect relationship between cytoplasmic response to low temperature and the development of cold hardiness in cells has been difficult to determine. This study considered the importance of rye (Secale cereale L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L. and Triticum tauschii (Coss.) Schmal.) cytoplasmic effects in conditioning plant cold hardiness. The cold hardiness of octoploid triticale (× Triticosecale Wittmack) produced from hardy rye and nonhardy wheat was similar to that of the wheat parent, demonstrating a complete suppression of the rye cold hardiness genes. Similar observations were made for wheat – rye amphiploids from reciprocal crosses, indicating that this suppression was not due to cytoplasmic effects. It is more probable that, because the cold hardiness of octoploid triticale approximates that of the wheat parent, the cold hardiness potential of the rye genome is suppressed by a gene or genes in the wheat complement. The cold hardiness of alloplasmic rye with T. tauschii cytoplasm was similar to that of the rye parent indicating that the cold hardiness genes of rye have normal expression in the T. tauschii cytoplasm. Based on observations made in these two studies, it was concluded that the cytoplasm has little direct effect on cold hardiness, or on the nuclear expression of cold hardiness.Key words: cold hardiness, cytoplasm, Triticum aestivum L., triticale, alloplasmic rye.

Eighty-three advanced winter triticales (× Triticosecale Wittmack) derived from various initial crosses and seven unselected triticale × bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) F5 lines were screened for the presence of rye chromosomes. Seventy-six advanced lines had seven pairs of rye (Secale cereale L.) chromosomes, suggesting selection pressure favoring retention of the complete rye genome. The results for unselected lines suggest the operation of natural disruptive selection for parental types. Possible factors involved in yielding different chromosome constitutions in winter and spring triticales are discussed.

Foram estudados sete cultivares de trigo (Triticum aestivum L. ), um de trigo duro (Triticum durum L.), sete de triticale e dois de centeio (Secale cereale L.), em soluções nutritivas contendo quatro níveis de alumínio tóxico. A tolerância foi medida pela capacidade de as raízes primárias continuarem a crescer em soluçâo sem alumínio após um período de 48 horas em solução contendo uma concentração conhecida de alumínio. A temperatura de 28 ± 1 °C foi mantida constante nas soluções durante o experimento. Os cultivares de centeio, Goyarowo e Branco, foram tolerantes a 20mg/ litro de Al3+; os de trigo, Siete Cerros, Tobari-66 e Cocorit, foram sensíveis a 5mg/lítro de alumínio, porém BH-1146, IAC-5, BR-1 e IAC-18 foram tolerantes e, IAC-17, moderadamente tolerante a essa concentração de alumínio; os cultivares de triticale, PFT-763, TCEP-77142, PFT-764, TCEP-75709, Cynamon, TCEP-77138 e TCEP-77136, foram tolerantes a 5mg/litro de Al3+. Todos os cultivares de trigo e triticale foram sensíveis a 10mg/litro de Al3+.
