Disomic substitution stocks in which chromosome 7D of Triticum aestivum cv. Canthatch was replaced by the corresponding homologous chromosome of each of four varieties of Triticum tauschii were crossed with 'Canthatch' to investigate the degree of differentiation for this chromosome between these two species. These disomic substitutions were also crossed with a 'Canthatch' plant double monotelosomic for chromosome 7D. Three double telotrisomics were produced, one of which had the complete 7D chromosome derived from 'Canthatch', one had 7D derived from the T. tauschii var. typica, and one had 7D from T. tauschii var. strangulata. Analysis of chromosome pairing demonstrated that chromosome 7D from var. typica formed fewer bound arms with 'Canthatch' 7D than did the corresponding chromosome from the other three tauschii varieties. The reduction in pairing between chromosomes 7D of var. typica and 'Canthatch' is greater than that previously reported from intraspecific D-genome chromosome pairing studies within T. aestivum. It is suggested that intraspecific divergence for at least chromosome 7D occurred between var. typica and these other three tauschii varieties before the synthesis of common hexaploid wheat.Key words: Triticum, aneuploidy, chromosome pairing, chromosome substitution.

Chromosome 7D of Triticum aestivum ’Canthatch’ was examined for its effects on milling and baking quality by investigating three aneuploid lines of this cultivar—one ditelosomic for 7DS, one ditelosomic for 7DL and one nullisomic for 7D. Also, the effects on milling and baking quality of chromosome 7D and of the complete D genome from the Triticum tauschii (Coss.) Schmal. (2n = 14 = DD) varieties RL5003, typica, anathera and strangulata were examined using disomic substitutions and synthetic hexaploids (2n = 42 = AABBDD). The long arm of Canthatch chromosome 7D had positive effects on seed size, test weight and flour quality. With respect to milling and baking quality, chromosome 7D of Triticum tauschii fully compensated for 7D Canthatch.Key words: Triticum aestivum, Triticum tauschii, baking quality, aneuploid, chromosome substitution

ABSTRACT The cytology of nine new D genome hybrids involving Triticum syriacum, Triticum ventricosum, Triticum cyclindricum, Triticum juvenale, Triticum crassum, Triticum tauschii and Triticum aestivum is described. The calculation of numerical values of the relative affinity and the patterns of chromosome pairing indicate that the D genome in T. syriacum and T. juvenale may have been substantially modified and that of T. crassum somewhat modified from that of the diploid progenitor, T. tauschii.

Cytogenetic analysis of selected F5 lines of the pentaploid hybrid, Rescue (Triticum aestivum L. emend. Thell.) × Golden Ball (T. durum Desf.) showed that chromosome XVI is the member of the D genome of Rescue that prevents transfer of the more solid top culm internode of Golden Ball to hexaploid segregates. It also produces a lax spike. Chromosome XX, which is the D-genome chromosome mainly responsible for the hollowness of hollow-stemmed hexaploids, probably has little effect in Rescue. Long awns were associated with low chromosome number but not with stem solidness or dense spike; therefore, the chromosome that suppresses awn development is probably not XVI.Three 42-chromosome segregates from the cross were more solid in the top internode than Rescue, presumably because of segregation of genes in the A and B genomes. It is unlikely, however, that a fully hexaploid segregate with a top internode as solid as that of Golden Ball can be selected from this hybrid.

Polyploid species of Triticum sensu lato were crossed with Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell. cv. Chinese Spring monotelodisomics or ditelosomics that were monosomic for chromosome 5B. Progeny from these crosses were either euploid, nullisomic for 5B, monotelosomic for a given Chinese Spring chromosome, or nullisomic for 5B and monotelosomic simultaneously. The Chinese Spring telosome in the hybrids permitted the evaluation of autosyndesis of chromosomes of the tested species. In addition, several Chinese Spring eu- and aneuhaploids were produced. Genotypes of T. cylindricum Ces., T. juvenale Thell., T. triunciale (L.) Raspail, T. ovatum (L.) Raspail, T. columnare (Zhuk.) Morris et Sears, T. triaristatum (Willd.) Godr. et Gren., and T. rectum (Zhuk.) comb. nov. were all shown to have suppressive effects on heterogenetic pairing in hybrids lacking 5B or 3AS, whereas T. kotschyi (Boiss.) Bowden had no effect. It was concluded that diploid-like meiosis in these species is due to genetic regulation. A number of these genotypes promoted heterogenetic pairing in the presence of 5B. A model is presented to explain this dichotomous behavior of the tested genotypes. Monotelosomic-3AL haploids had a greater amount of pairing than did euhaploid Chinese Spring, which substantiated the presence of a pairing suppressor(s) on the 3AS arm. Evidence is presented that shows that T. juvenale does not have a genome homologous with the D genome of T. aestivum.

Two mutants, each promoting homoeologous chromosome pairing in hexaploid wheat (Triticum × aestivum L. emend gr. aestivum), in the cultivar Chinese Spring, ph1b at the Ph locus on chromosome 5BL and the other, ph2, on chromosome 3DS, were compared for their influence on chromosome pairing and fertility in pentaploid hybrids with Triticum turgidum L. emend var. dicoccoides (Korn. in litt. in Schweinf.). The mutants induced increased multivalent frequency over the normal pentaploid. Lower univalent frequencies in the ph2-pentaploid, compared with the normal pentaploid, indicated that D-genome chromosomes of the former were substantially involved in homoeologous pairing. Certain differences in other meiotic processes and fertility among the pentaploids may reflect differences in the activity of the pairing genes. There appeared to be a higher level of univalent elimination in pollen and egg cells in the ph2-, compared with the ph1b-pentaploid. Tetrad formation was close to normal in the ph2- pentaploid but exhibited high levels of abnormality (monads, dyads, triads and apolar tetrads) in the ph1b-pentaploid. Fertility levels in crosses of the pentaploids with hexaploid wheat, while low, were much lower for the ph1b-, compared with the ph2-pentaploid.

One hundred and seventy-eight loci have been mapped in Triticum tauschii (Coss.) Schmal. (2n = 14, DD) and Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell. (2n = 42, AABBDD). Thirty-five loci were mapped by aneuploid analysis in T. aestivum. One hundred and fifty-two loci, including 143 restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs), 8 proteins, and 1 leaf rust resistance gene, were mapped in an F2 population (60 plants) of T. tauschii. One hundred and twenty-seven loci were placed in linkage groups belonging to seven D-genome chromosomes of T. tauschii. The source of the probes was a PstI genomic library of T. tauschii, which gave 13% single-low copy clones. Four restriction endonucleases (DraI, EcoRI, EcoRV, HindIII) gave 75% polymorphism between the two parents. Nineteen clones detected multiloci ranging from two to nine in number. Deletions–insertions and point mutations were equally important for generating RFLPs. A hypervariable sequence was identified, which may have potential use in varietal fingerprinting. One marker was found to be linked to a rust-resistance gene. The map will be useful for determining genetic relationships in the Triticeae and for tagging genes of economic importance.Key words: restriction fragment length polymorphism, Triticum aestivum, leaf rust, isozymes, Aegilops squarrosa.

Ten telocentric chromosomes of diploid Agropyron elongatum (Host.) P.B. (2n = 14) were added to the chromosome complement of Triticum aestivum L. emend. Thell. The ditelosomic additions were crossed with Triticum speltoides (Tausch) Gren. ex Richter, and in the tetraploid hybrids the pairing frequencies of the telosomes were determined, expressed as percent of PMC's in which a telosome paired at metaphase I. All Agropyron telosomes paired with Triticum chromosomes. The pairing frequencies ranged from 4.4% to 41.2% of the PMC's, it is concluded that none of the ten Agropyron chromosome arms has a homologous partner among the four Triticum genomes involved. The pairing frequencies did not correlate with the lengths of the telosomes. Pairing of the Agropyron telosomes in these tetraploid hybrids approximated the chromosome pairing that occurred in a diploid hybrid T. tauschii (Coss.) Schmal. (the donor of the D genome of T. aestivum) × A. elongatum.

Triticum speltoides (Tausch) Gren. ex Richter plants which differed in the ability to promote heterogenetic chromosome pairing in hybrids T. aestivum L. × T. speltoides were crossed and a single F1 plant from each cross was hybridized with T. aestivum. The segregation among the hybrids for mean number of chiasmata per cell showed that two gene systems in T. speltoides genotypes were involved in the promotion of heterogenetic pairing. One system was composed of two duplicate gene loci segregating independently of each other. Variation at these loci determined two basic levels of heterogenetic pairing. The other system was composed of several minor genes extensively modifying the effects of the major genes. The minor genes interacted mostly in an additive fashion. Triticum speltoides inbred plants were then crossed with diploid species. T. tauschii (Coss.) Schmal and T. dichasians (Zhuk.) Bowden. Consistent differences in the levels of chromosome pairing were found in these hybrids. However, this variation in chromosome pairing did not coincide with the variation at the major gene loci. This indicated that the major genes were ineffective in the diploid hybrids.Key words: Triticum, pairing regulation, homeologous pairing, heterogenetic pairing.

Twenty interspecific hybrid combinations involving wheat D-genome species were made and their first meiotic metaphase chromosome pairing was observed. Optimum values of the relative affinity of the most closely related genomes were calculated. It is possible to divide the species into three clusters: first, Triticum tauschii, T. aestivum, T. cylindricum, and T. ventricosum, in which the D genome has undergone little modification; second, tetraploid and hexaploid T. crassum in which the D genome is somewhat modified; and third, T. juvenale and T. syriacum, in which the D genome is substantially modified.

Chromosome pairing in Aegilops squarrosa × Ae. mutica hybrids was almost regular and exceeded the pairing in hybrids between Ae. mutica and Sitopsis species of Aegilops, and between Ae. mutica and diploid Triticum species. The Ae. mutica genome is homoeologous with the A, S(B) and D genomes present in wheat, and the evidence reported and reviewed does not suggest that this genome is homoeologous with the B genome of Triticum aestivum in particular. The chromosomes of Ae. mutica appear to have considerable homoeology with the D genome of Ae. squarrosa, and the general homoeology may indicate that it is an ancestral species in the Triticinae. Analysis of chromosome pairing in triploid hybrids supports the hypothesis that factors in Ae. mutica do not independently produce additional homoeologous pairing other than that permitted by the suppression of regulation.
