    Notes: Abstract Whether the two tetraploid wheat species, the well known Triticum turgidum L. (macaroni wheat, AABB genomes) and the obscure T. timopheevii Zhuk. (AtAtGG), have monophyletic or diphyletic origin from the same or different diploid species presents an interesting evolutionary problem. Moreover, T. timopheevii and its wild form T. araraticum are an important genetic resource for macaroni and bread-wheat improvement. To study these objectives, the substitution and genetic compensation abilities of individual T. timopheevii chromosomes for missing chromosomes of T. aestivum ‘Chinese Spring’ (AABBDD) were analyzed. ‘Chinese Spring’ aneuploids (nullisomic-tetrasomics) were crossed with a T. timopheevii x Aegilops tauschii amphiploid to isolate T. timopheevii chromosomes in a monosomic condition. The F1 hybrids were backcrossed one to four times to Chinese Spring aneuploids without selection for the T. timopheevii chromosome of interest. While spontaneous substitutions involving all At- and G-genome chromosomes were identified, the targeted T. timopheevii chromosome was not always recovered. Lines with spontaneous substitutions from T. timopheevii were chosen for further backcrossing. Six T. timopheevii chromosome substitutions were isolated: 6At (6A), 2G (2B), 3G (3B), 4G (4B), 5G (5B) and 6G (6B). The substitution lines had normal morphology and fertility. The 6At of T. timopheevii was involved in a translocation with chromosome 1G, resulting in the transfer of the group-1 gliadin locus to 6At. Chromosome 2G substituted for 2B at a frequency higher than expected and may carry putative homoeoalleles of gametocidal genes present on group-2 chromosomes of several alien species. Our data indicate a common origin for tetraploid wheat species, but from separate hybridization events because of the presence of a different spectrum of intergenomic translocations.

    Notes: Abstract The wild diploid goatgrass, Triticum tauschii (Coss.) Schmal., is an important source of genes for resistance to both diseases and insects in common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) We have evaluated grain yield, kernel weight, protein concentration, and kernel hardness of 641 BC2 F1-derived families from direct crosses involving four T. aestivum cultivars and 13 T. tauschii accessions over 2 years and at two Kansas, USA, locations. On average, T. tauschii germplasm depressed grain yield and increased protein concentration, whereas kernel weight was affected either positively or negatively, depending on the T. tauschii parent. Three T. tauschii parents produced a large proportion of families with very soft endosperm. Some variation among progeny of different T. tauschii parents resulted from the segregation of genes for resistance to leaf rust (caused by Puccinia recondita Rob. ex Desm.). This study confirmed that random BC2-derived families can be used to evaluate the effects of T. tauschii genes in the field. This methodology, although laborious, can provide useful information which is not obtainable by the screening of T. tauschii accessions themselves.
