Stage Of Development

The Chinese Spring (Cheyenne) chromosome substitution series was grown in three non-vernalizing environments and heading dates recorded. A vernalization treatment was superimposed on one environment. The major component of the vernalization response of the cultivar Cheyenne was located in the chromosome 5D line, presumably due to the presence of vrn3. Minor effects were located in other CS(Cnn) lines. Lines derived from the cross CS/CS(Cnn 5D) were grown in non-vernalizing environments and their Vrn3/vrn3 genotypes postulated. Differences between lines in resistance to freezing injury during stem elongation were not associated with variation of the Vrn3/vrn3 locus.

Natural Freezing

Eight series of chromosome substitution lines in the Chinese Spring background were subjected to natural freezing stresses during stem elongation. Two of the series were also subjected to an artificial freezing stress at stem elongation. In the series involving the winter cultivar Cheyenne, a major genetic component of the resistance to freezing injury during stem elongation was located in chromosome 5D. Among the seven other series screened in the field, each of the 21 substituted chromosomes was significant in at least one series. Chromosomes most frequently implicated were 3A, 6A, 2D, 4D and 5D. The genetic control of observed tiller mortality following a freezing stress was therefore considered genetically complex.

Chinese Spring Wheat

Chromosome substitution lines of the variety Hope in Chinese Spring (Triticum aestivum L.) were crossed onto Betzes barley (Hordeum vulgare L. emend. Lam.). Three substitution lines of Hope involving chromosomes 5A, 5B, 5D gave no seed-set indicating that their counterparts in Chinese Spring were responsible for crossability with barley and that they function in complementary fashion. Other chromosomes of Hope had minor effects on crossability with barley.

'Rescue', 'Cadet', and the 42 reciprocal chromosome substitution lines derived from these two spring wheat cultivars were tested for vernalization response and cold hardiness. Cold hardiness was tested after hardening under a 16-h day for 8 weeks with 6 °C day and 4 °C night temperatures or in the dark for 7 weeks at 0.8 °C followed by 8 weeks at −5 °C. Chromosomes 5A, 5B, 7B, and possibly 2A carried loci for vernalization response. Chromosomes 2A, 5A, and 5B carried loci affecting cold hardiness measured after 8 weeks in the light at 6 °C during the day and 4 °C at night, whereas chromosomes 6A, 3B, 5B, and 5D were involved in cold hardiness after hardening in the dark at 0.8 °C followed by −5 °C. The results suggest that the rank order of cultivars for cold hardiness depends on the hardening technique used since the two different techniques tested had different genetic and presumably somewhat different biochemical bases.Key words: Triticum aestivum L., cold hardiness, vernalization.

The aim of this two‒year research was to determine the rate of productive tillers per plant of different winter wheat cultivars under different sowing densities in the agroecological conditions of Banja Luka. NS 40S, Prima and Nova Bosanka wheat cultivars were sown at eight different sowing densities: 384, 424, 451, 504, 544, 584, 588 and 604 seeds m-2. The experiment was set up in the open field, and each wheat cultivar was sown at different sowing density in four replications. Statistical analysis was performed using factorial analysis of variance 2×8×3 while significant differences between treatments were tested by LSD test. The highest average rate of productive tillers per plant was achieved for the winter wheat cultivar NS 40S (2.29). The highest average rate of productive tillers per plant was achieved at sowing density of 384 seeds m-2 and the lowest at sowing density of 588 seeds m-2.

Plants were regenerated from anther calli of the winter wheat cultivar 'Centurk' (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell.). Cells of root tips of young regenerated plants were assayed for ploidy and plants were categorized as polyhaploid, mixoploid, or hexaploid. Tillering and seed set were analyzed in plants that survived to maturity. Less than 1% of the tiller population produced by polyhaploid plants set seed. In contrast, 73% of the tiller population produced by hexaploid plants set seed, with significantly greater seed set per fertile tiller. These data were taken to indicate that the ploidy composition of root tips of young regenerated plants reflected that of the reproductive structures of mature regenerated plants. Common patterns of aneuploidy in hexaploid and hyperploid cells found among roots of individual plants confirmed the idea that doubling of the cell genome occurred before plant regeneration. Polyhaploid and hexaploid cells were found in individual root tips of mixoploid plants regenerated from calli that were known to be cytochimeric. The possibility that regeneration of plants can occur from more than a single cell of an anther callus is discussed.Key words: anther culture, Triticum aestivum, wheat, mixoploidy, aneuploidy, regeneration.

Chromosome 3B

Abstract During a study on the genetic control of winterhardiness in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. group aestivum), a gene that affected vernalization was found on chromosome 3B in the winter wheat cultivar ;Wichita.' When chromosome 3B from Wichita was substituted into the winter wheat cultivar ;Cheyenne,' the resultant substitution line exhibited a spring growth habit. This is unusual since a cross between the cultivars Wichita and Cheyenne results in progeny that exhibit the winter growth habit. The F(2) plants from a cross of the 3B substitution line to Cheyenne, the recipient parent, segregated 3:1 for heading/no heading response in the absence of vernalization (chi(2) = 2.44). Earliness of heading appeared to be due to an additive effect of the 3B gene as shown by the segregation ratio 1:2:1 (early heading-later heading-no heading) (chi(2) = 2.74). This vernalization gene differs from previously described vernalization genes because, while dominant in a Cheyenne background, its expression is suppressed in Wichita. The gene may have an effect on winter hardiness in Wichita. In a field test for winter survival the 3B substitution line had only 5% survival, while Wichita and Cheyenne had 50 and 80% survival, respectively. No other substitution line significantly reduced winter survival. The difference between Wichita and Cheyenne in winterhardiness may be due to the vernalization gene carried on the 3B chromosome.

ABSTRACT Wheat cultivar Chinese Spring (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell.) was crossed with cultivars Hope, Cheyenne and Timstein. In all three hybrids, the frequencies of pollen mother cells (PMCs) with univalents at metaphase I (MI) were higher than those in the parental cultivars. No multivalents were observed in the hybrids, indicating that the cultivars do not differ by translocations. Thirty-one Chinese Spring telosomic lines were then crossed with substitution lines in which single chromosomes of the three cultivars were substituted for their Chinese Spring homologues. The telosomic lines were also crossed with Chinese Spring. Data were collected on the frequencies (% of PMCs) of pairing of the telesomes with their homologues at MI and the regularity of pairing of the remaining 20 pairs of Chinese Spring chromosomes in the monotelodisomics obtained from these crosses. The reduced MI pairing in the intercultivar hybrids was caused primarily by chromosome differentiation, rather than by specific genes. Because the differentiation involved a large part of the chromosome complement in each hybrid, it was concluded that it could not be caused by structural changes such as inversions or translocations. In each case, the differentiation appeared to be unevenly distributed among the three wheat genomes. It is proposed that the same kind of differentiation, although of greater magnitude, differentiates homoeologous chromosomes and is responsible, together with structural differentiation, for poor chromosome pairing in interspecific hybrids.
