Molecular and agronomic characterization of wheat-Agropyron intermedium recombinant chromosomes

Khan, I.A.
Thirty-six wheat--Agropyron intermedium (host) Beauv. [Syn. Trichopyrum intermedium (host) A. Love. Elytrigia intermedia (host) Nevski, Thinopyrum intermedium (host) Barkworth and Dewey] 7A/7Ai-1 recombinant chromosomes were characterized using DNA markers. Analysis of recombinant chromosomes using 15 restriction fragment length polymorphism probes identified the homoeologous crossover products that had varying length of A. intermedium chromatin introgressed onto chromosome 7A of common wheat. The linear order of the probe loci was established along the lengths of the chromosomes. The short arm recombinants that had A. intermedium chromatin distal to the locus Xpsr 108 and proximal to the locus Xpsr 119 were resistant to wheat stem rust, indicating that the rust resistance gene (Sr44) was located on the distal part of chromosome arm 7Ai-1s. The barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) resistance gene reported to be present on the long arm of chromosome 7Ai-1 was found to be ineffective against the BYDV serotype used in the present study.
