The annual goatgrass, Aegilops biuncialis is a rich source of genes with considerable agronomic value. This genetic potential can be exploited for wheat improvement through interspecific hybridization to increase stress resistance, grain quality and adaptability. However, the low throughput of cytogenetic selection hampers the development of alien introgressions. Using the sequence of flow-sorted chromosomes of diploid progenitors, the present study enabled the development of chromosome-specific markers. In total, 482 PCR markers were validated on wheat (Mv9kr1) and Ae. biuncialis (MvGB642) crossing partners, and 126 on wheat-Aegilops additions. Thirty-two markers specific for U- or M-chromosomes were used in combination with GISH and FISH for the screening of 44 Mv9kr1 × Ae. biuncialis BCF genotypes. The predominance of chromosomes 4M and 5M, as well as the presence of chromosomal aberrations, may indicate that these chromosomes have a gametocidal effect. A new wheat-Ae. biuncialis disomic 4U addition, 4M(4D) and 5M(5D) substitutions, as well as several introgression lines were selected. Spike morphology and fertility indicated that the Aegilops 4M or 5M compensated well for the loss of 4D and 5D, respectively. The new cytogenetic stocks represent valuable genetic resources for the introgression of key genes alleles into wheat.
一年生山羊草(Aegilops biuncialis)是一种具有重要农艺价值的基因的丰富来源。通过种间杂交,可以将这种遗传潜力应用于小麦改良,以提高抗逆性、提高谷物品质和适应性。然而,细胞遗传学选择的低通量阻碍了异源渐渗的发展。利用二倍体亲本品系的流式分选染色体序列,本研究开发了染色体特异性标记。总共在小麦(Mv9kr1)和山羊草(MvGB642)杂交伙伴上验证了 482 个 PCR 标记,在小麦-山羊草添加物上验证了 126 个。32 个特异性标记 U 或 M 染色体与 GISH 和 FISH 相结合,用于筛选 44 个 Mv9kr1×山羊草 BCF 基因型。4M 和 5M 染色体的优势以及染色体异常的存在可能表明这些染色体具有配子致死效应。选择了一个新的小麦-山羊草 4U 附加系,4M(4D)和 5M(5D)替换以及几个渐渗系。穗形态和育性表明,Aegilops 4M 或 5M 分别很好地补偿了 4D 和 5D 的缺失。新的细胞遗传学品系为将关键基因等位基因导入小麦提供了有价值的遗传资源。
