The transfer of agronomically useful genes from wild wheat species into cultivated wheat is one of the most effective approaches to improvement of wheat varieties. To evaluate the transfer of genes from Dasypyrum villosum into Triticum aestivum, wheat quality and disease resistance was evaluated in two new translocation lines, T1DL•1V#3S and T1DS•1V#3L. We examined the levels of stripe rust resistance and dough quality in the two lines, and identified and located the stripe rust resistant genes and high molecular weight glutenin subunit (HMW-GS) genes Glu-V1 of D. villosum. Compared to the Chinese Spring (CS) variety, T1DL•1V#3S plants showed moderate resistance to moderate susceptibility to the stripe rust races CYR33 and Su11-4.

  • Dasypyrum Breviaristatum
    Li et al. Molecular Cytogenetics (2016) 9:6 DOI 10.1186/s13039-016-0217-0 RESEARCH Open Access Molecular cytogenetic characterization of Dasypyrum breviaristatum chromosomes in wheat background revealing the genomic divergence between Dasypyrum species Guangrong Li, Dan Gao, Hongjun Zhang, Jianbo Li, Hongjin Wang, Shixiao La, jiwei Ma and Zujun Yang* Abstract Background: The uncultivated species Dasypyrum breviaristatum carries novel diseases resistance and agronomically important genes of potential use for wheat improvement. The development of new wheat-D. breviaristatum derivatives lines with disease resistance provides an opportunity for the identification and localization of resistance genes on specific Dasypyrum chromosomes. The comparison of wheat-D. breviaristatum derivatives to the wheat-D. villosum derivatives enables to reveal the genomic divergence between D. breviaristatum and D. villosum. Results: Themitoticmetaphaseofthewheat-D. breviaristatum partial amphiploid TDH-2 and durum wheat -D. villosum amphiploid TDV-1 were studied using multicolor fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). We found that the distribution of FISH signals of telomeric, subtelomeric and centromeric regions on the D. breviaristatum chromosomes was different from those of D. villosum chromosomes by the probes of Oligo-pSc119.2, Oligo-pTa535, Oligo-(GAA)7 and Oligo-pHv62-1. A wheat line D2139, selected from a cross between wheat lines MY11 and TDH-2, was characterized by FISH and PCR-based molecular markers. FISH analysis demonstrated that D2139 contained 44 chromosomes including a pair of D. breviaristatum chromosomes which had originated from the partial amphiploid TDH-2. Molecular markers confirmed that the introduced D. breviaristatum chromosomes belonged to homoeologous group 7, indicating that D2139 was a 7Vb disomic addition line.

However, in the previous studies, four D. villosum lines (DvSus-1 ~ DvSus-4) and two wheat-D. villosum addition lines (DA6V#1 and DA6V#3) were reported to be susceptible to powdery mildew. In the present study, the characteristics of non-functional Pm21 alleles in the above resources were analyzed after Sanger sequencing. The results showed that loss-of-functions of Pm21 alleles Pm21-NF1 ~ Pm21-NF3 isolated from DvSus-1, DvSus-2/DvSus-3 and DvSus-4 were caused by two potential point mutations, a 1-bp deletion and a 1281-bp insertion, respectively. The non-functional Pm21 alleles in DA6V#1 and DA6V#3 were same to that in DvSus-4 and DvSus-2/DvSus-3, respectively, indicating that the susceptibilities of the two wheat genetic stocks came from their D. villosum donors.

(P.) Candargy and Triticum L. and Secale L. species was studied on the basis of ISSR markers. As a very polymorphic, effective and reproducible method, ISSR can be successfully employed to evaluate polymorphism between and inside different species. The polymorphic information content values (PIC) of ISSR method ranged from 0.57 to 0.87, with the mean value of 0.7. The genetic similarity of the forms analyzed ranged from 0.27 to 0.97, with the mean value of 0.47, indicating their high diversity. A higher similarity of Dasypyrum villosum to Triticum species, in comparison with Secale was found ñ the mean Dice genetic similarity index between genera was calculated at 0.40 for Dasypyrum and Triticum, and at 0.31 for Dasypyrum and Secale.

BMC Genomics (2019) 20:289 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-019-5630-4 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Development of PCR markers specific to Dasypyrum villosum genome based on transcriptome data and their application in breeding Triticum aestivum-D. villosum#4 alien chromosome lines Shijin Li1,2†, Jing Wang1†, Kunyang Wang1, Jingnan Chen3, Ke Wang1, Lipu Du1, Zhongfu Ni2*, Zhishan Lin1,4* and Xingguo Ye1,4* Abstract Background: Dasypyrum villosum is an important wild species of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and harbors many desirable genes that can be used to improve various traits of wheat. Compared with other D. villosum accessions, D. villosum#4 still remains less studied. In particular, chromosomes of D. villosum#4 except 6V#4 have not been introduced into wheat by addition or substitution and translocation, which is an essential step to identify and apply the alien desired genes. RNA-seq technology can generate large amounts of transcriptome sequences and accelerate the development of chromosome-specific molecular markers and assisted selection of alien chromosome line. Results: We obtained the transcriptome of D. villosum#4 via a high-throughput sequencing technique, and then developed 76 markers specific to each chromosome arm of D. villosum#4 based on the bioinformatic analysis of the transcriptome data. The D. villosum#4 sequences containing the specific DNA markers were expected to be involved in different genes, among which most had functions in metabolic processes. Consequently, we mapped these newly developed molecular markers to the homologous chromosome of barley and obtained the chromosome localization of these markers on barley genome.

Attempts to Produce Alien Addition Lines in Triticum durum Domenico Pignone CNR -lstituto del Germoplasma, Bari, Italy ABSTRACT been carried out on T. aestivum. In durum wheat, conversely, aneuploid stocks are few, possibly because of Aneuploid stocks in durum wheat are few, and alien two reasons: minor economic importance of this crop as additions are particularly rare. The present contribution compared to common wheat, and more intrinsic technical describes the results of a program aimed at the addition of difficulties due to a lower level of genetic tolerance to the alien chromosomes to tetraploid wheat. Aegilops caudata, aneuploid condition. Ae. longissima and Dasypyrum villosum were used as chromosome donors. The crossing program involved the Nevertheless, in the cv. 'Langdon', some aneuploid production of amphidiploids with the wheat cytoplasm and series have been developed, namely double-ditelosomics, the recurrent crossing with durum wheat pollen.

The vascular plant diversity McAllister et al. 2001; Nilsson et al. 2005), dams are of eight reservoirs and surrounding areas in southern very important for wildlife, such as birds (Mancuso Italy was inventoried and further analysed in terms of 2010). Artificial lakes fulfill an important role as water biodiversity. A total of 730 specific and subspecific taxa reservoirs for agricultural irrigation; however, their were recorded, with 179 taxa in the poorest area and 303 other functions, such as recreation, fishing, and bio- in the richest one. The results indicate a good richness diversity conservation, should not be overlooked. The of the habitats surrounding the water basins, with some Italian National Institute for Economic Agriculture species of nature conservation interest and only a few (INEA) launched the project “Azione 7” (Romano and alien species. Costantini 2010) to assess the suitability of reservoirs in southern Italy for nature conservation purposes.
