The genomic origin of alien chromosomes present in a wheat - Thinopyrum intermedium partial amphiploid TAF46 (2n = 8x = 56) and six derived chromosome addition lines were analyzed by genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) using S genomic DNA from Pseudoroegneria strigosa (2n = 2x = 14, SS) as a probe. The GISH analysis clearly showed that the chromosome complement of the partial amphiploid TAF46 consists of an entire wheat genome plus one synthetic genome consisting of a mixture of six S genome chromosomes and eight J (=E) genome chromosomes derived from Th. intermedium (2n = 6x = 42, JJJsJsSS). There were no Js genome chromosomes present in TAF46. The J genome chromosomes present in TAF46 displayed a unique GISH hybridization pattern with the S genomic DNA probe, in which S genome DNA strongly hybridized at the terminal regions and weakly hybridized over the remaining parts of the chromosomes. This provides a diagnostic marker for distinguishing J genome chromosomes from Js or S genome or wheat ABD genome chromosomes. The genomic origin of the alien chromosomes present in the six derived chromosome addition lines were identified by their characteristic GISH hybridization patterns with S genomic DNA probe. GISH analysis showed that addition lines L1, L2, L3, and L5 carried one pair of J genome chromosomes, while addition lines L4 and L7 each carried one pair of S genome chromosomes. GISH patterns detected by the S genome probe on addition line of L1 were identical to those of the J genome chromosomes present in the partial amphiploid TAF46, suggesting that these chromosomes were not structurally altered when they were transferred from TAF46 to addition lines.Key words: GISH, genomic composition, addition lines, Thinopyrum intermedium, partial amphiploid.

Genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) using genomic DNA probes from Thinopyrum elongatum (Host) D.R. Dewey (genome E, 2n = 14), Thinopyrum bessarabicum (Savul. & Rayss) Á. Löve (genome J, 2n = 14), and Pseudoroegneria strigosa (M. Bieb.) Á. Löve (genome S, 2n = 14), was used to examine the genomic constitution of Thinopyrum intermedium (Host) Barkworth & D.R. Dewey (2n = 6x = 42) and Thinopyrum ponticum (Podp.) Barkworth & D.R. Dewey (2n = 10x = 70). Evidence from GISH indicated that hexaploid Th. intermedium contained the J, Js, and S genomes, in which the J genome was related to the E genome of Th. elongatum and the J genome of Th. bessarabicum. The S genome was homologous to the S genome of Ps. strigosa, while the Js genome referred to modified J- or E-type chromosomes distinguished by the presence of S genome specific sequences close to the centromere. Decaploid Th. ponticum had only the two basic genomes J and Js. The Js genome present in Th. intermedium and Th. ponticum was homologous with E or J genomes, but was quite distinct at centromeric regions, which can strongly hybridize with the S genome DNA probe. Based on GISH results, the genomic formula of Th. intermedium was redesignated JJsS and that of Th. ponticum was redesignated JJJJsJs. The finding of a close relationship among S, J, and Js genomes provides valuable markers for molecular cytogenetic analyses using S genome DNA probes to monitor the transfer of useful traits from Th. intermedium and Th. ponticum to wheat.Key words: genomic in situ hybridization, GISH, Thinopyrum intermedium, Thinopyrum ponticum, genomic analysis, Js genome.

Using genomic in situ hybridization to chromosomes, we identified introgressed segments in a tetrageneric hybrid of Triticum, Avena, Thinopyrum, and Secale, which conferred high resistance to leaf rust, stem rust, stripe rust, powdery mildew, and root rot to wheat. The disease-resistance traits of the hybrid originated from three wild related genera of Triticum, namely Avena, Thinopyrum, and Secale. The new breeding system that combined traditional wide hybridization with anther culture was efficient and rapid in creating wheat germplasms resistant to major diseases.Key words: Triticum aestivum, Avena fatua, Thinopyrum intermedium, Secale cereale, wide hybridization, anther culture, genomic in situ hybridization, GISH.

The absence of chromosome 7D in the wheat–Thinopyrum ponticum partial amphiploid BE-1 was detected previously by multicolour genomic in situ hybridization, sequential FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) using repetitive DNA probes, and SSR marker analysis. In the present study the previous cytogenetic and SSR marker analyses were expanded to include 25 other SSR markers assigned to wheat chromosomes 7A and 7D to confirm the presence of a 7A.7D translocation and to specify its composition. An almost complete chromosome 7A and a short chromosome segment derived from the terminal region of 7DL were detected, confirming the presence of a terminal translocation involving the distal regions of 7AL and 7DL. In both cases the position of the translocation breakpoint was different from that of known deletion lines. The identification of the 7AL.7DL translocation and its breakpoint position provides a new physical landmark for future physical mapping studies, opening up the possibility of more precise localization of genes or molecular markers within the terminal regions of 7DL and 7AL.

A combination of genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) and meiotic pairing analysis of wheat-Thinopyrum partial amphiploids was employed to identify the genomic constitution and relationships between partial amphiploids derived from wheat and wheatgrass crosses. On the basis of similarities in the meiotic behavior and GISH patterns, the alien chromosomes of two of eight partial amphiploids, TAF46 and 'Otrastayuskaya 38', were judged to originate from Th. intermedium, whereas Th. ponticum was one of the parents of the other six partial amphiploids; PWM706, PWM206, PWM209, PWMIII, OK7211542, and Ag-wheat hybrid. Each of these partial amphiploids was found to contain a synthetic alien genome composed of different combinations of St-, J-, or Js-genome chromosomes. For relatedness of partial amphiploid lines, meiotic analysis of F1 hybrids and GISH results were generally complementary, but the latter offered greater precision in identifying constituent genomes.Key words: wheat, Thinopyrum, partial amphiploids, GISH, meiotic analysis.

Leaf rust (caused by Puccinia triticina Eriks.) occurs annually in most wheat-growing areas of the world. Thinopyrum ponticum (Podp.) Z.-W. Liu & R.-C. Wang has provided several leaf rust resistance genes to protect wheat from this fungal disease. Three chromosome substitution lines, Ji806, Ji807, and Ji859, and two chromosome addition lines, Ji791 and Ji924, with a winter growing habit were developed from crosses between wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell.) and the wheat – Th. ponticum partial amphiploid line 693. These lines were resistant to leaf rust isolates from China. Sequence-tagged site (STS) analysis with the J09-STS marker, which is linked to the gene Lr24, revealed that the partial amphiploid line 693 and all of the substitution and addition lines carried gene Lr24. Genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) analysis was carried out on chromosome preparations using total genomic DNA from Pseudoroegneria strigosa (M. Bieb) A. Löve (St genome, 2n = 14) as a probe in the presence of total genomic DNA from T. aestivum 'Chinese Spring' wheat (ABD genomes, 2n = 42). The GISH analysis demonstrated that these lines had a pair of chromosomes displaying the typical pattern of a Js genome chromosome. This indicates that the chromosome that carries gene Lr24 belonged to the Js genome of Th. ponticum. In addition to 40 wheat chromosomes, eight Js and eight J genome chromosomes were also differentiated by GISH in the partial amphiploid line 693. Since most sources of Lr24 have a red grain color, the white-colored seeds in all of these substitution and addition lines, together with high protein content in some of the lines, make them very useful as a donor source for winter wheat breeding programs.Key words: Lr24, genomic in situ hybridization, sequence-tagged site, random amplified polymorphic DNA.

The genomic origin of alien chromosomes carrying resistance to wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) and the wheat curl mite (WCM), Aceria tosichella Keifer, was evaluated in nine wheat-alien addition, substitution, or translocation lines, derived from hybrids of wheat with Thinopyrum ponticum (Podp.) Barkworth & D.R. Dewey (2n = 10x = 70), or with Th. intermedium (Host) Barkworth & D.R. Dewey (2n = 6x = 42). One of the four wheat × Th. ponticum lines was resistant to WSMV and WCM. The other three lines were resistant to WCM, but susceptible to WSMV. Five wheat × Th. intermedium lines were susceptible to WCM, but were highly resistant to WSMV. Genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) using different genomic DNA probes demonstrated that all WSMV- and WCM-resistant lines carried an alien chromosome(s) related to the Js genome in Th. ponticum and Th. intermedium. The Js alien chromosome(s) displayed a special GISH hybridization pattern with the S genomic DNA probe, in which S genome DNA hybridized strongly in the centromeric regions and occasionally in the terminal regions with no or a weak hybridization signal in the middle of the two arms of the chromosomes. The WCM-resistant wheat × Th. ponticum lines N/5.10.10 and 63-30-2-2-2-8-1 carried the same short arm of chromosome 6Js derived from the partial amphiploid Agrotana, while the WSMV-resistant wheat × Th. intermedium lines T-Ai, CI15092, CI17766, A29-13-3-1 and KS93WGRC27 all had the same alien chromosome or chromosome arm of 4Js from Th. intermedium. The Js genome present in Th. ponticum and Th. intermedium is an important source of WSMV and WCM resistance that can be transferred into wheat.Key words: wheat-Thinopyrum lines, WSMV- and WCM-resistance, genomic in situ hybridization, Js genome.
