Agropyron cristatum, an important wild relative of wheat, may carry genes for increased grain weight and width on its 6P chromosome. The development of Robertsonian translocation lines could promote the utilization of the 6P chromosome of Agropyron cristatum in wheat improvement.
Agropyron cristatum (L.) Gaertn. (2n = 4x = 28, PPPP), one of the most important wild relatives of wheat, harbors many desirable genes for wheat genetic improvement. Development of wheat-A. cristatum translocation lines with superior agronomic traits facilitates wheat genetic improvement. In this study, 5106-DS was identified to be a wheat-A. cristatum 6P (6D) disomic substitution line using cytogenetic identification and molecular markers analysis, which displayed higher thousand-grain weight than its wheat parent Triticum aestivum cv. Fukuhokomugi (2n = 6x = 42, AABBDD). Analysis of its backcross populations indicated that there might be genes conferring increased grain weight and width on the chromosome 6P of 5106-DS. In the backcross population, we found three plants as Robertsonian translocation lines, created by chromosome centric breakage-fusion. Among them, there are one T6DS center dot 6PL and two T6PS center dot 6DL Robertsonian translocation lines. Additionally, the centromeres of these three translocation lines were determined to be fused centromeres of 6D and 6P using the probes pAcCR1 and pCCS1. The development of Robertsonian translocation lines would promote the utilization of A. cristatum chromosome 6P in wheat improvement.
