    Notes: Summary Cytological events in the first 12 h after pollination were studied in crosses between the hexaploid wheat genotype Chinese Spring and the maize genotype Seneca 60. A pollen tube was first observed in the embryo sac 4 h after pollination, and maize sperm nuclei were first observed in the embryo sac after 5 h. On 29 occasions two, and on 1 occasion three, pollen tubes penetrated the embryo sac. Four categories of aberration limiting the frequency of fertilization were identified: (1) in 20% of florets no pollen tube reached the embryo sac; (2) in at least 1.9% the pollen tube severely damaged the wheat egg cell and polar nuclei; (3) in 33% the maize sperm nuclei were not released from the pollen tube; and (4) in 16% the sperm nuclei were released into the embryo sac but failed to move to either of the wheat gametes. In the remaining 29% sperm nuclei were more often found in the egg cell than at the polar nuclei. The results suggest that karyogamy occurs with very high efficiency when a sperm nucleus reaches the egg cell, but with only about 50% efficiency when a sperm nucleus reaches the polar nuclei.

    The production of haploid wheat plants from wheat x maize crosses (1988)

    Notes: Summary Hybrid embryos from hexaploid wheat x maize crosses rapidly lose the maize chromosomes to produce haploid wheat embryos. Such embryos almost always aborted when left to develop on the plant, and only 1 was recovered from 2440 florets (0.17% of the expected number). Embryos had greater viability in spikelet culture, 47 (26.5% of the expected number) being recovered from 706 ovaries. Thirty-two of these embryos germinated to give green plants, 31 of which were haploid (21 wheat chromosomes) and 1 of which was euploid (42 wheat chromosomes). Spikelet culture enabled 17.1% of the expected number of embryos to be recovered as haploid plants, a 100-fold improvement on allowing embryos to develop in vivo. Ten haploid plants of ‘Chinese Spring’ (kr1, kr2), 13 plants of ‘Chinese Spring (Hope 5A)’ (kr1, Kr2), and 8 of ‘Hope’ (Kr1, Kr2) were recovered. The potential of wheat x maize crosses for wheat haploid production and for gene transfer from maize to wheat is discussed.

    The effect of the crossability loci Kr1 and Kr2 on fertilization frequency in hexaploid wheat x maize crosses (1987)

    Notes: Summary Dominant alleles of the Kr1 and Kr2 genes reduce the crossability of hexaploid wheat with many alien species, including rye and Hordeum bulbosum, with Kr1 having the greater effect. However, a cytological study of wheat ovaries fixed 48 h after pollination showed that the wheat genotypes ‘Highbury’ (kr1, Kr2) and ‘Chinese Spring (Hope 5B)’ (kr1, kr2) were crossable with ‘Seneca 60’ maize, fertilization occurring in 14.4 and 30.7% of embryo sacs respectively. The latter figure was similar to the 29.7% fertilization found in ‘Chinese Spring’ (kr1, kr2). Most embryo sacs in which fertilization occurred contained an embryo but lacked an endosperm and where an endosperm was formed it was usually highly aberrant. All three wheat x maize combinations were karyotypically unstable and rapidly eliminated maize chromosomes to produce haploid wheat embryos.

    Durum wheat haploid production using maize wide-crossing (1994)

    Notes: Abstract While anther culture or pollinations with Hordeum bulbosum have provided suitable methods for haploid production in bread wheat, they have been largely unsuccessful in durum wheat. Pollinations with maize were used in an attempt to produce haploid seedlings and, from these, fertile doubled haploids of durum wheats. Moreover, the effect of various concentrations and combinations of a synthetic auxin, 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), kinetin, and an ethylene inhibitor, silver nitrate (AgNO3), on embryo recovery were also investigated. Haploid seedlings were recovered from Triticum turgidum ssp. turgidum cv ‘Rampton Rivet’ pollinated with maize following in-vivo treatment of ovaries with 2,4-D for 2 weeks and subsequent embryo culture. The recovery of haploid seedlings from T. turgidum ssp. durum cv. ‘Wakona’ pollinated with maize necessitated the addition of AgNO3, to the 2,4-D treatment. Overall, haploid seedlings were produced in 1.7% and 3.3% of pollinated florets for “Rampton Rivet” and “Wakona” respectively. The success of the present work represents a significant breakthrough for haploid production in durum wheats. Wide hybridization with maize followed by in-vivo treatment of ovaries with 2,4-D alone, or in combination with AgNO3, may provide a widely-applicable method of haploid production in tetraploid wheats.

    Discrimination between closely related Triticeae species using genomic DNA as a probe (1990)

    Notes: Summary Labelled total genomic DNA was used as a probe in combination with blocking DNA to discriminate between taxonomically closely related species in the genera Hordeum and Secale. Discrimination was possible both by Southern hybridization to size-fractionated restriction enzyme digests of genomic DNA and by in situ hybridization to chromosome preparations. To distinguish between two species (e.g. H. vulgare and H. bulbosum), genomic DNA from one species was used as the labelled probe, while unlabelled DNA from the other species was applied at a much higher concentration as a block. The blocking DNA presumably hybridized to sequences in common between the block and the labelled probe, and between the block and DNA sequences on the membrane or chromosomes in situ. If so, mainly species-specific sequences would remain as sites for probe hybridization. These species-specific sequences are dispersed and represent a substantial proportion of the genome (unlike many cloned, species-specific sequences). Consequently, rapid nonradioactive methods detected probe hybridization sites satisfactorily. The method was able to confirm the parentage of hybrid plants. It has potentially wide application in plant breeding for the detection of alien DNA transfer, and it can be easily adapted to many species.
