Summary
Six monosomic addition lines were produced in which different Dasypyrum villosum (L.) Candargy chromosomes were added to the chromosome complement of Triticum durum Desf. cv. ‘Creso’. Each added alien chromosome was found to have a specific effect on plant morphology and fertility. Transmission rate varied widely (from 7.5 to 27.7%) among the six univalent chromosomes. Different monotelosomic addition plants derived by a relatively high frequency of chromosome misdivision were isolated. The addition lines should be useful for studying Dasypyrum chromosome homoeology and the introduction of alien variation into durum and common wheats.
