Controlled introgression to wheat of genes from rye chromosome arm 1RS by induction of allosyndesis

Summary

Chromosome pairing between rye chromosome arm 1RS, present in two wheat-rye translocation stocks, and its wheat homoeologues was induced by introducing the translocations into either a ph1bph1b or a nullisomic 5B background. This rye arm carries a gene conferring resistance to wheat stem rust, but lines carrying the translocation produce a poor quality dough unsuitable for breadmaking. Storage protein markers were utilised along with stem rust reaction to screen for allosyndetic recombinants. From a 1DL-1RS translocation, three lines involving wheat-rye recombination were recovered, along with thirteen lines derived from wheat-wheat homoeologous recombination. From a 1BL-1RS translocation, an additional three allosyndetic recombinants were recovered. Nullisomy for chromosome 5B was as efficacious as the ph1b mutant for induction of allosyndesis, and the former stock is easier to manipulate due to the presence of a 5BL-encoded endosperm protein. The novel wheat-rye chromosomes present in the recombinant lines may enable the rye disease resistance to be exploited without the associated dough quality defect.
