Chromosome pairing at first meiotic metaphase was studied in hybrids between the common wheat cultivar Chinese Spring (CS) and an induced autotetraploid line derived from diploid Agropyron elongatum. The latter was found to carry genes for homoeologous pairing. To determine the chromosomal location of these and other genes that control pairing, disomic addition lines of A. elongatum in the cv. Chinese Spring were crossed with tetraploid cytotypes of A. elongatum, and pairing was then compared in the resulting hybrids and in hybrids between cv. Chinese Spring and tetraploid A. elongatum. The elongatum chromosomes were classified into those that suppress (6E), promote (5E, 3E, and possibly 1E), or have no effect on pairing (4E). The effect of chromosomes 2E and 7E was not studied. Chromosomes 5E and 3E differed in their effect on the degree and pattern of chromosome pairing. These findings are compared with the available data on the control of pairing in A. elongatum and in other Triticinae species.Key words: chromosome pairing, pairing promoter, Triticum, common wheat, Agropyron.

Chromosome pairing at first meiotic metaphase was studied in F1 hybrids between tetraploid cytotypes of Agropyron elongatum and common wheat lines of the cultivar Chinese Spring, carrying zero, one, and two doses of Ph1. The bivalentization gene system of A. elongatum could not compensate for the absence of Ph1: hybrids deficient for this gene exhibited pairing between the Agropyron E1 and E2 chromosomes, between the wheat A, B, and D chromosomes, and between the Agropyron and the wheat chromosomes. In hybrids with one or two doses of Ph1, pairing was restricted to the Agropyron E1 and E2 chromosomes. It was concluded that E1 and E2 are distant homologues, thus further supporting the autoploidy nature of tetraploid A. elongatum. The genomic relationships in other polyploid species of the genus Agropyron is discussed in the light of this evidence.Key words: chromosome pairing, Triticum, common wheat, Agropyron.

Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers with a total of 256 EcoRI + ANN- MseI + CNN primer combinations were investigated employing the common wheat cultivar Triticum aestivum 'Chinese Spring.' On average, 103 fragments per primer combination were amplified, ranging from a maximum of 226 fragments to a minimum of 18 fragments. The primer combinations E + AAA - M + CNN and E + ATT - M + CNN produced very few distinct fragments. By using 15 randomly chosen EcoRI + ANN - MseI + CNN primer combinations, 928 AFLP markers were allocated to wheat chromosomes, of which 131 were assigned to specific chromosome arms. These AFLP markers were locus-specific and randomly distributed on the different chromosomes. In addition, 6 and 41 AFLP markers were simultaneously absent in two nulli-tetrasomics (NTs) of both homoeologous and non-homoeologous groups, respectively, whereas additional fragments were detected in N1BT1A, N5AT5D, and N6BT6A lines.Key words: aneuploid, chromosome assignment, Triticum aestivum.

A gene for resistance to Erysiphe graminis was detected in Triticum aestivum cv. Chinese Spring, strain Salmon, T. compactum cv. No. 44, and T. spelta var. duhamelianum, using a hybrid culture derived from E. graminis f. sp. agropyri × E. graminis f. sp. tritici. The gene was located on the short arm of chromosome 6B and designated Pm11. Pm11 was considered to be involved in the resistance of wheat to the wheatgrass powdery mildew fungus.Key words: wheat, resistance, powdery mildew, Erysiphe graminis.

The frequency with which 20 different monosomes of the common wheat variety, Chinese Spring, formed micronuclei in pollen quartets was determined. It was found that unless the study was made at an early developmental stage characterized by a distinct cell wall surrounding the quartets, the counts were unreliable, because some micronuclei were lost. The frequency of micronucleus formation was similar for anthers of a floret, florets of a spike, and plants of a monosome. Among the monosomes studied, there were three groups of three and four of two in which the total frequency of quartets with micronuclei, and the distribution of numbers of micronuclei per quartet, were strikingly similar. In the case of the groups of three, two monosomes were from the A and B genomes while one was from the D genome. This is interpreted as evidence of homoeology of chromosomes of a group and also that such chromosomes have undergone less change than those that do not form such series.

The LrT gene for resistance to leaf rust present in the common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) backcross line RL 6049, and originally derived from the cultivar Terenzio, was shown to be on chromosome 4B. Farther analysis indicated that it is on the long arm of this chromosome, 2.9 ± 1.3 crossover units from the centromere. It is independent of or loosely linked with Sr7a, a gene for stem rust resistance known to be on the long arm of chromosome 4B. It is inherited independently of leaf rust resistance genes Lr1, Lr2a, Lr3, Lr10, Lr14b, Lr16, Lr17 and Lr18. LrT has been redesignated Lr30.

Chromosome pairing was studied in a number of hybrids involving a 56-chromosome wheat-Agropyron derivative, PW 327. PW 327 originated from the cross, Triticum aestivum cv. Chinese Spring (Chinese Spring × A. elongatum, 2n = 70). In hybrids between PW 327 and T. aestivum a number of multivalent chromosome associations were formed at metaphase I. These multivalents result from interchanges which occurred among wheat chromosomes 1A, 1D, 2A, 2D, 4D and 6D of PW 327. One chromosome of the Agropyron chromosome set of PW 327 occasionally pairs with wheat chromosome 3B. The rest of the Agropyron chromosomes present in PW 327 do not pair with the chromosomes of T. aestivum. It is proposed that the set of Agropyron chromosomes present in PW 327 is not an intact genome of decaploid A. elongatum but rather a modified synthetic genome combining chromosomes and/or chromosome segments from different genomes of the Agropyron parent. The incorporation of duplication-deletions into synthetic genomes of natural polyploids is discussed and it is shown that the set of Agropyron chromosomes which is present in PW 327 carries at least one such duplication-deletion. Pairing between chromosomes of diploid and decaploid A. elongatum was studied in a 56-chromosome hybrid from a cross between an amphiploid, T. aestivum × A. elongatum (2n = 14), and PW 327. It appeared that at least four chromosomes of these two Agropyrons occasionally paired with each other in this hybrid in which the diploidizing system of wheat was active. The relationship between chromosomes of diploid and decaploid A. elongatum is discussed.
