Molecular and cytogenetic identification of Triticum aestivum-Leymus racemosus translocation line T6DL·7LrS / 生物工程学报

ABSTRACT

Leymus racemosus had a high resistant capacity to wheat scab (Fusarum head blight). The transfer of scab resistant gene from L. racemosus to Triticum aestivum is of great significance for broadening the germplasm of wheat resistance. To obtain Triticum aestivum-Leymus racemosus translocation line with scab resistance, we irradiated the pollen of T. aestivum-L. racemosus disomic addition line DA7Lr by ⁶⁰Co-γ-rays 1 200 R (100 R/min) prior to pollinating to emasculation T. aestivum cv. Chinese Spring. One plant with one translocation chromosome was detected in the M1 by GISH. The plant with one translocation chromosome was self-pollinated, and at meiotic metaphase I its progenies with two translocation chromosomes were analyzed for chromosome pairing behavior in their pollen mother cells (PMCs). One rod bivalent was observed at meiotic metaphase I, indicating that the plant with two translocation chromosomes was one translocation homozygote. Sequential GISH-FISH analysis, using Oligo-pAs1-2 and Oligo-pSc119.2-2 as probe, translocation line was confirmed as T6DL·7LrS. The translocation line had higher resistance to wheat scab and feasibility to be used as a new source in wheat breeding resistant to scab disease.
