Because of their readily crossing with wheat, many genes for disease resistance have been introduced from the wheatgrasses into wheat. Genes for resistance to leaf rust, stem rust, powdery mildew, Barley yellow dwarf virus, Wheat streak mosaic virus, and its vector, the wheat curl mite, have been transferred into wheat by producing chromosome translocations. These genes offer an opportunity to improve resistance of wheat to the diseases; some of them have been extensively used in protecting wheat from damage of the diseases. Moreover, new resistance to diseases is continuously detected in the progenies of wheat-Thinopyrum derivatives. The present article summaries characterization and application of the genes for fungal and viral disease-resistance derived from Th. ponticum and Th. intermedium.展开更多

Several relatives, such as Secale cereale （Gupta and Shepherd, 1993; Ma et al., 2000）, Thinopyrum elongatum （Liu et al., 2008）, Th. intermedium （Cao et al., 2014） and Th. ponticum （Li et al., 2008） showed distinct applications of introgression of interesting genes or traits into wheat. However, there are still some challenges in using these genetic resources. The introgressed alien fragments often bring genes with potentially negative impacts on the traits. In this letter, we mainly focus on multi-strategies for synthesis of polyploids between wheat and rye, Th. elongatum, Th. intermedium and Th. ponticum. We have successfully selected different novel ploidy triticale and trititrigia lines which carried excellent disease-resistance genes and could provide essential genetic resources for wheat breeding.展开更多
