The P genome of Agropyron cristatum Gaertn. contains many desirable genes that can be utilized as genetic resources to improve wheat. In this research, we used both the gametocidal chromosome 2Cc and pairing homologous gene (Ph1b) mutant induce structural aberrations translocations between wheat 4P, 5P, 6P chromosomes. By using two approaches, a total 19 wheat-A. have been identified, in which ...

Information on the tiller development of hybrid bromegrass (Bromus inermis × Bromus riparius Rehm) is limited. The objective this study was to evaluate effect clipping frequency at vegetative and reproductive stages concentrations sugars ‘AC Knowles’ compared ‘Kirk’ crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum L.). This experiment conducted in greenhouse using tillers vernalized plants dug from fiel...

mdash; Plant regeneration from immature intergeneric embryos through direct callus induction was investigated in the case of hybridization between T aestivum cv Chinese Spring (2n = 6x = 42, AABBDD) and A cristatum 4x with one B chromosome (2n = 4x = 28 + 1 B, PPPP). Twenty-three abnormal immature hybrid embryos were directly cultured on MS solid medium with 2 mg / L 2,4-D to induce calli which...

Crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum L.) breeding programs aim to develop later maturing cultivars for extending early spring grazing in Western Canada. Plant maturity is a complex genetic trait, and little is known about genes associated with late maturity in this species. An attempt was made using RNA-Seq to profile the transcriptome of crested wheatgrass maturity and to analyze differenti...
