Abstract
New translocation lines with T6V#4S·6AL in the Ph1 and ph1b backgrounds were developed with improved inheritance of powdery mildew resistance. The wheat-Dasypyrum villosum T6V#4S·6DL translocation line Pm97033, which exhibits strong powdery mildew (PM) resistance, was developed many years ago, but has limited application in wheat breeding. One of the major reasons for this is that the translocation chromosome has low transmission rate, which makes it difficult to obtain ideal genotype through recombination with other elite agronomic traits in a limited segregating population. Further modifications are thus needed to make better use of this genetic resource. In this study, Pm97033 and the T6V#2S·6AL translocation line NY-W were hybridized with the CS ph1b mutant, and two F1 hybrids were hybridized with each other. Then, plants homozygous for the ph1b deletion carrying the alien chromosome arm(s) 6V#2S and 6V#4S were identified from the segregating populations using molecular markers. New T6V#4S·6AL and T6V#2-6V#4S·6AL translocations were identified by molecular markers and confirmed by genomic in situ hybridization (GISH). Individuals that were heterozygous or homozygous for the translocation chromosome in Ph1 and ph1b backgrounds were obtained. The ratio of PM resistance vs. susceptibility in the self-pollinated heterozygous plants was 3:1, and the phenotype was completely consistent with the KASP genotyping. Thus, the new translocation chromosomes had higher transmission rate than the original T6V#4S·6DL, and so can be effectively applied in breeding programs.

Abstract
Polyploids are species in which three or more sets of chromosomes coexist. Polyploidy frequently occurs in plants and plays a major role in their evolution. Based on their origin, polyploid species can be divided into two groups: autopolyploids and allopolyploids. The autopolyploids arise by multiplication of the chromosome sets from a single species, whereas allopolyploids emerge from the hybridization between distinct species followed or preceded by whole genome duplication, leading to the combination of divergent genomes. Having a polyploid constitution offers some fitness advantages, which could become evolutionarily successful. Nevertheless, polyploid species must develop mechanism(s) that control proper segregation of genetic material during meiosis, and hence, genome stability. Otherwise, the coexistence of more than two copies of the same or similar chromosome sets may lead to multivalent formation during the first meiotic division and subsequent production of aneuploid gametes. In this review, we aim to discuss the pathways leading to the formation of polyploids, the occurrence of polyploidy in the grass family (Poaceae), and mechanisms controlling chromosome associations during meiosis, with special emphasis on wheat.

Abstract
In this study, the intergeneric hybrids F1, F2, BC1F1, BC1F2, and BC2F1 from Elytrigia elongata and Triticum aestivum crosses were produced to study their chromosome pairing behavior. The average E. elongata chromosome configuration of the two F1 hybrids agreed with the theoretical chromosome configuration of 21I+7II, indicating that the genomic constitution of this F1 hybrid was ABDStStEeEbEx. Compared with the BC1F1 generation, the BC2F1 generation showed a rapid decrease in the number of E. elongata chromosomes and the BC1F2 generation showed a more extensive distribution of E. elongata chromosomes. In addition, pairing between wheat and E. elongata chromosomes was detected in each of the wheat-E. elongata hybrid progenies, albeit rarely. Our results demonstrated that genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) using an E. elongata genomic DNA probe offers a reliable approach for characterizing chromosome pairing in wheat and E. elongata hybrid progenies.

Harnessing Genetic Diversity of Wild Gene Pools to Enhance Wheat Crop Production and Sustainability: Challenges and Opportunities. DIVERSITY-BASEL 2017.

Abstract
Wild species are extremely rich resources of useful genes not available in the cultivated gene pool. For species providing staple food to mankind, such as the cultivated Triticum species, including hexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum, 6x) and tetraploid durum wheat (T. durum, 4x), widening the genetic base is a priority and primary target to cope with the many challenges that the crop has to face. These include recent climate changes, as well as actual and projected demographic growth, contrasting with reduction of arable land and water reserves. All of these environmental and societal modifications pose major constraints to the required production increase in the wheat crop. A sustainable approach to address this task implies resorting to non-conventional breeding strategies, such as “chromosome engineering”. This is based on cytogenetic methodologies, which ultimately allow for the incorporation into wheat chromosomes of targeted, and ideally small, chromosomal segments from the genome of wild relatives, containing the gene(s) of interest. Chromosome engineering has been successfully applied to introduce into wheat genes/QTL for resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, quality attributes, and even yield-related traits. In recent years, a substantial upsurge in effective alien gene exploitation for wheat improvement has come from modern technologies, including use of molecular markers, molecular cytogenetic techniques, and sequencing, which have greatly expanded our knowledge and ability to finely manipulate wheat and alien genomes. Examples will be provided of various types of stable introgressions, including pyramiding of different alien genes/QTL, into the background of bread and durum wheat genotypes, representing valuable materials for both species to respond to the needed novelty in current and future breeding programs. Challenging contexts, such as that inherent to the 4x nature of durum wheat when compared to 6x bread wheat, or created by presence of alien genes affecting segregation of wheat-alien recombinant chromosomes, will also be illustrated.

Cytogenetic mapping of a major locus for resistance to Fusarium head blight and crown rot of wheat on Thinopyrum elongatum 7EL and its pyramiding with valuable genes from a Th. ponticum homoeologous arm onto bread wheat 7DL. TAG. THEORETICAL AND APPLIED GENETICS. THEORETISCHE UND ANGEWANDTE GENETIK 2017; 130:2005-2024.

Abstract
A major locus for resistance to different Fusarium diseases was mapped to the most distal end of Th. elongatum 7EL and pyramided with Th. ponticum beneficial genes onto wheat 7DL. Perennial Triticeae species of the Thinopyrum genus are among the richest sources of valuable genes/QTL for wheat improvement. One notable and yet unexploited attribute is the exceptionally effective resistance to a major wheat disease worldwide, Fusarium head blight, associated with the long arm of Thinopyrum elongatum chromosome 7E (7EL). We targeted the transfer of the temporarily designated Fhb-7EL locus into bread wheat, pyramiding it with a Th. ponticum 7el1L segment stably inserted into the 7DL arm of wheat line T4. Desirable genes/QTL mapped along the T4 7el1L segment determine resistance to wheat rusts (Lr19, Sr25) and enhancement of yield-related traits. Mapping of the Fhb-7EL QTL, prerequisite for successful pyramiding, was established here on the basis of a bioassay with Fusarium graminearum of different 7EL-7el1L bread wheat recombinant lines. These were obtained without resorting to any genetic pairing promotion, but relying on the close 7EL-7el1L homoeology, resulting in 20% pairing frequency between the two arms. Fhb-7EL resided in the telomeric portion and resistant recombinants could be isolated with useful combinations of more proximally located 7el1L genes/QTL. The transferred Fhb-7EL locus was shown to reduce disease severity and fungal biomass in grains of infected recombinants by over 95%. The same Fhb-7EL was, for the first time, proved to be effective also against F. culmorum and F. pseudograminearum, predominant agents of crown rot. Prebreeding lines possessing a suitable 7EL-7el1L gene/QTL assembly showed very promising yield performance in preliminary field tests.

Abstract
Thinopyrum ponticum (Th. ponticum) (2n = 10x = 70) is an important breeding material with excellent resistance and stress tolerance. In this study, we characterized the derivative line CH1113-B13-1-1-2-1 (CH1113-B13) through cytological, morphological, genomic in situ hybridization (GISH), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), expressed sequence tag (EST), and PCR-based landmark unique gene (PLUG) marker analysis. The GISH analysis revealed that CH1113-B13 contained 20 pairs of common wheat chromosomes and one pair of JSt genomic chromosomes. Linkage analysis of Th. ponticum using seven EST and seven PLUG markers indicated that the pair of alien chromosomes belonged to the seventh homeologous group. Nulli-tetrasomic and FISH analysis revealed that wheat 7B chromosomes were absent in CH1113-B13; thus, CH1113-B13 was identified as a 7JSt (7B) substitution line. Finally, adult-stage CH1113-B13 exhibited immunity to wheat stripe rust. This substitution line is therefore a promising germplasm resource for wheat breeding.

Abstract
The aluminium tolerance of durum wheat was markedly enhanced by introgression of TaALMT1 and TaMATE1B from bread wheat. In contrast to bread wheat, TaMATE1B conferred greater aluminium tolerance than TaALMT1. Durum wheat (tetraploid AABB, Triticum turgidum) is a species that grows poorly on acid soils due to its sensitivity of Al(3+). By contrast, bread wheat (hexaploid AABBDD, T. aestivum) shows a large variation in Al(3+) tolerance which can be attributed to a major gene (TaALMT1) located on chromosome 4D as well as to other genes of minor effect such as TaMATE1B. Genotypic variation for Al(3+) tolerance in durum germplasm is small and the introgression of genes from bread wheat is one option for enhancing the ability of durum wheat to grow on acid soils. Introgression of a large fragment of the 4D chromosome previously increased the Al(3+) tolerance of durum wheat demonstrating the viability of transferring the TaALMT1 gene to durum wheat to increase its Al(3+) tolerance. Here, we used a ph1 (pairing homoeologous) mutant of durum wheat to introgress a small fragment of the 4D chromosome harboring the TaALMT1 gene. The size of the 4D chromosomal fragment introgressed into durum wheat was estimated by markers, fluorescence in situ hybridisation and real-time quantitative PCR. In a parallel strategy, we introgressed TaMATE1B from bread wheat into durum wheat using conventional crosses. Both genes separately increased the Al(3+) tolerance of durum wheat in both hydroponics and soil cultures. In contrast to bread wheat, the TaMATE1B gene was more effective than TaALMT1 in increasing the Al(3+) tolerance of durum wheat grown on acid soil.
