Wheat alien chromosome addition lines possess abundant genetic resources and they are usually used for transferring desired genes or traits into wheat. The screening and characterisation of addition lines for target traits is one of the prerequisites for efficient utilisation of the alien chromosomes. In order to understand the properties and potential utilisation of wheat addition lines, the effects of additional chromosomes on agronomic and photosynthetic traits of common wheat were evaluated using 34 addition lines with the same genetic background of Chinese Spring. The results showed that most of the alien chromosomes decreased plant height (61.8%) and grain number per spike (47.1%), whereas some increased spike length and tiller number. Alien chromosomes of Agropyron intermedium G, Elymus trachycaulus T5HL5HL, El. trachycaulus 5SS and Haynaldia villosa 1V performed well in improving yield components. None of the alien chromosomes studied had negative effects on photosynthetic traits. Higher net photosynthetic rates were observed in Aegilops umbellulata 5U, El. trachycaulus 5H and rye 1R addition lines. Regarding seedling traits, 21 lines (61.8%) showed improvement in different root traits, whereas 26.5% of the chromosomes decreased coleoptile length. Addition lines with better performance for some specific traits were identified and discussed.

A combination of cytological and biochemical methods were used to isolate and identify six Triticum aestivum 'Chinese Spring' – Elymus trachycaulus (= Agropyron trachycaulum, 2n = 28, genomes StStHtHt) Ht genome disomic and ditelosomic chromosome addition lines. Protein and morphological markers indicated that Elymus chromosomes 1Ht, 1Htp, 5Ht, 6Ht, 7Ht, and 7Htp have been added to the wheat genome. Two alloplasmic addition lines, 1Ht and 1Htp, were determined to have favorable nucleocytoplasmic interactions by the presence of vegetative vigor and fertility restoration. The gene(s) for vigor and fertility restoration were located on the short arm of 1Ht. The Elymus chromosomes of each line were found to affect plant morphology and fertility, with the exception of disomic addition 6Ht, which appeared similar to 'Chinese Spring'. Phenotypic differences between each line may be attributed to the expression of genes from specific Elymus chromosomes, the cumulative dosage of homoeoalleles, or nucleocytoplasmic interactions. These morphological traits, in combination with biochemical markers, provide evidence of the gene synteny relationships between the Elymus and Triticum species. Knowledge of the homoeologous relationships among wheat and Elymus chromosomes may be useful for the eventual transfer of disease-resistance genes from Elymus to wheat.Key words: Elymus, wheat, addition line, polyploidy.

C-banded karyotypes of a complete set of 14 Triticum peregrinum whole chromosome addition lines and 25 telosomic addition lines are reported. The added T. peregrinum chromosomes were not structurally rearranged compared with the corresponding chromosomes of the donor accession. Comprehensive karyotypic analysis confirmed Triticum umbellulatum as the donor species of the Uv genome and identified Triticum longissimum as the donor species of the Sv genome of T. peregrinum. Neither the Uv nor Sv genome chromosomes of the T. peregrinum accession showed large modifications when compared with the ancestral U and S1 genomes. Key words : Triticum aestivum, Triticum peregrinum, Triticum umbellulatum, Triticum longissimum, chromosome addition lines, C-banding.

SUMMARYThe alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), aminopeptidase (AMP), endopeptidase (EP), and esterase (EST) zymogram phenotypes of Chinese Spring wheat, Betzes barley, Chinese Spring-Betzes heptaploids, and a number of presumptive Betzes chromosome additions to Chinese Spring were determined. It was found that four disomic chromosome addition lines could be distinguished from one another and from the other three possible lines on the basis of the zymogram phenotypes of these isozymes.The structural gene Adh-H1 was located in Betzes chromosome 4, the genes Got-H2 and Amp-H1 in chromosome 6, and the gene Ep-H1 in chromosome 1. These gene locations provide evidence of homoeology between Betzes chromosomes 4, 6, and 1 and the Chinese Spring chromosomes of homoeologous groups 4, 6, and 7, respectively.

Isozyme markers were used to develop Triticum aestivum cv. Chinese Spring–Elytrigia elongata (= Agropyron elongatum, 2n = 14, genome E) disomic 3E and 5E addition lines. Subsequently, all possible lines containing 3E and 5E substituted for wheat homoeologues and several 3E and 5E ditelosomic addition and substitution lines were developed. Plants containing chromosome 3E substituted for wheat chromosomes of homoeologous group 3 are similar to 'Chinese Spring' in vigor and fertility while plants containing 3EL substituted for chromosomes of group 3 are less fertile than 'Chinese Spring'. This indicates that both arms of 3E are involved in sporophytic compensation. Plants containing chromosome 5E substituted for wheat chromosomes of homoeologous group 5 are as vigorous but less fertile than 'Chinese Spring'. 5EL (5A) and 5EL (5B) plants are lower in fertility than 5E (5A) and 5E (5B) plants, indicating that both arms of 5E are involved in sporophytic compensation. 5E (5D) and 5EL (5D) plants are similar in fertility. Male gametophytes in which 3E or 5E replaces a wheat homoeologue function at a lower rate than normal gametes.Key words: wheat, Triticum, Elytrigia elongata, alien chromosome addition lines.

SUMMARYThe zymogram phenotypes of 11 enzymes were determined for 22 Triticum aestivum cv. Chinese Spring-Elytrigia elongata disomic and ditelosomic chromosome addition lines. Eleven isozyme structural genes were located in specific arms of six E. elongata chromosomes, as follows: Gpi-E1 in 1ES, Est-E1 in 3ES, Got-E3 in 3EL, Adh-E1 and Lpx-E1 in 4ES, Adh-E2 and Lpx-E2 in 5EL, Amp-E1 in 6Eα, Adh-E3 and Got-E2 in 6Eβ, and Ep-E1 in 7EL. The E. elongata chromosomes present in five disomic addition lines have previously been designated 1E, 2E, 4E, 6E, and 7E to indicate their homoeology with Chinese Spring chromosomes. The results of this study support these designations. The development of disomic putative 3E and 5E addition lines is reported. The added chromosomes designated IV, V, and VI that are present in three of the seven original disomic T. aestivum-E. elongata addition lines are translocated. Evidence that VL and VIL are opposite arms of 2E and that IV is partially homoeologous to 3E has been published. The results reported in this paper indicate that IVS = 3ES, IVL = 7EL, VS = 3ES, and VIS = 5ES and are consistent with VL and VIL being opposite arms of 2E. The synteny relationships of the 11 E. elongata isozyme genes identified in this study are fully consistent with those of homoeologous T. aestivum cv. Chinese Spring genes and thus provide evidence that the gene synteny groups which these two species inherited from their common ancestor are conserved. This study further documents the valuable role that studies of isozyme genes can play in the isolation, characterization, and maintenance of alien chromosomes, telosomes, and chromosomal segments in wheat strains.

Nine of the 14 possible single chromosome addition lines of the tetraploid species Aegilops variabilis Eig. (CuCuSvSv) to Triticum aestivum L. cv. Chinese Spring (AA BB DD) have been isolated and identified. The nine Aegilops variabilis addition lines were compared with the available addition lines of Aegilops umbellulata (CuCu) and Aegilops longissima (SvSv) to further elucidate the relationship between these two diploids and the tetraploid Aegilops variabilis. Differences were observed between the same chromosomes isolated from the diploid and the tetraploid and discussed. After taking into account banding pattern polymorphisms, Aegilops umbellulata was confirmed as the donor of the Cu genome, and evidence indicated that Aegilops longissima probably is the donor of the other genome (Sv) in the tetraploid Aegilops variabilis.

SUMMARYIn extracts of mature wheat grains, 13 hexokinase isozymes were distinguished by IEF. The genes controlling the production of five isozymes were located on chromosome arms 1BS, 1DS and 3BS by nullisomic analysis. The three loci, part of two homoeoallelic series (Hk-1 and Hk-2) are designated Hk-B1, Hk-D1 and Hk-B2 respectively. Analysis of chromosome 1D short-arm terminal deletions indicated the Hk-D1 locus to be located proximally to the glucose phosphate isomerase locus, Gpi-D1 on the shortarm. Three variant HK phenotypes were distinguished amongst 55 hexaploid wheats examined. Analysis of seven Chinese Spring/Agropyron elongatum chromosome addition lines showed that Ag. elongatum isozymes were expressed in the wheat background in additions IV and V.

Wheat–barley disomic and ditelosomic chromosome addition lines have been used as genetic tools for a range of applications since their development in the 1980s. In the present study, we used the Affymetrix Barley1 GeneChip for comparative transcript analysis of the barley cultivar Betzes, the wheat cultivar Chinese Spring, and Chinese Spring – Betzes ditelosomic chromosome addition lines to physically map barley genes to their respective chromosome arm locations. We mapped 1257 barley genes to chromosome arms 1HS, 2HS, 2HL, 3HS, 3HL, 4HS, 4HL, 5HS, 5HL, 7HS, and 7HL based on their transcript levels in the ditelosomic addition lines. The number of genes assigned to individual chromosome arms ranged from 24 to 197. We validated the physical locations of the genes through comparison with our previous chromosome-based physical mapping, comparative in silico mapping with rice and wheat, and single feature polymorphism (SFP) analysis. We found our physical mapping of barley genes to chromosome arms to be consistent with our previous physical mapping to whole chromosomes. In silico comparative mapping of barley genes assigned to chromosome arms revealed that the average genomic synteny to wheat and rice chromosome arms was 63.2% and 65.5%, respectively. In the 1257 mapped genes, we identified SFPs in 924 genes between the appropriate ditelosomic line and Chinese Spring that supported physical map placements. We also identified a single small rearrangement event between rice chromosome 9 and barley chromosome 4H that accounts for the loss of synteny for several genes.
