Abstract
Summary: To introduce useful genes from the wild species Thinopyrum intermedium into cultivated wheat, a wheat-Th. intermedium disomic addition line (TAI27) was used as source material for tissue culture. TAI27 contains, beside the 42 wheat chromosomes, a pair of smaller chromosomes that is cytologically discernible. Based on restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis, this chromosome pair was determined to be a recombinant one, comprising segments with homoeology to at least two chromosome groups of wheat, i.e., group 2 and 7. Sixty-eight green plants were regenerated from six month-old embryogenic calli initiated from immature embryos of TAI27. Four of the plants were found to have only 42 cytologically normal-looking chromosomes. Southern blot analysis using a Th. intermedium-enriched repetitive probe showed that one of the plants had hybridization fragments specific to Th. intermedium, indicating introgression of chromatin during the cell culture process
