Abstract
Homozygous wheat/rye (1BL/1RS or 1AS/1RL) translocation lines have significantly contributed to wheat production, and several other wheat/rye translocation lines show a potential promise against biotic and abiotic stresses Detecting the presence of rye at the chromosome level is feasibie by C-banding and isozyme protocols, but the diagnostic strength of genomic in situ hybridization for eventually analyzing smaller DNA introgressions has greater significance As a first step we have applied the genomic in situ hybridization technique to detect rye chromosomes in a wheat background using germ plasm of agricultural significance By this method rye contributions to the translocations 1BL/1RS, 1AL/1RS, SAS/SRL and 6BS/6RL could be identified Differential labelling has further enabled the detection of rye and Thinopyrum bessarabicum chromosomes in a trigeneric hybrid of Triticum aestivum/Th bessarabicum//Secale cereale.
