Summary The transfer of cytoplasms of various Triticum and Aegilops species to a hexaploid triticale (‘Rosner’) has been attempted using 30 alloplasmic lines and a euplasmic line of common wheat as cytoplasmic donors. The average rate of F1 hybrid production (seed setting rateXgermination rate) following an ordinary method of crossing is only 0.09%, whereas this rate is increased to 3.1% by use of embryo culture. The first backcross of the F1 plants with triticale pollen is again difficult, the hybrid production being 0.9%. Further backcrosses proceed smoothly in most cases. As a consequence, the following seven cytoplasms have been transferred to triticale: T. dicoccum, T. aestivum, Ae. squarrosa, Ae. cylindrica, Ae. juvenalis, Ae. ovata and Ae. speltoides. None of these alien cytoplasms causes more meiotic instability than does the triticale's own cytoplasm. Two cytoplasms of T. dicoccum and T. aestivum, both belonging to the B plasma type, have no effect upon any of triticale's characters. Two D type cytoplasms of Ae. squarrosa and Ae. cylindrica cause about 50% reduction of male fertility but exert no other remarkable effects. This fact suggests a partial functional compensation of the effect of a 1D chromosome upon interacting with D cytoplasm by a rye chromosome substituting for it in triticale. A D2 cytoplasm of Ae. juvenalis causes earlier heading and complete male sterility, accompanied by some reduction of growth vigor. An M0 type cytoplasm of Ae. ovata and an S type cytoplasm of Ae. speltoides cause a great heading delay, complete male sterility, and severe reduction of vigor. From the viewpoint of triticale breeding, none of these cytoplasms appears superior to the triticale's own cytoplasm. However, from the viewpoint of genetics, the hexaploid triticale is an effective tester for differentiating the B, S, and D plasma types.
