Molecular identification of triticale introgression lines carrying leaf rust resistance genes transferred from Aegilops kotschyi Boiss. and Ae. tauschii Coss.

Triticale (× Triticosecale Wittmack) is a commercial hybrid harboring wheat (Triticum sp.) and rye (Secale cereale L.) genomes.

Development and Cytomolecular Identification of Monosomic Alien Addition and Substitution Lines of Triticale (× Wittmack) With 2S Chromosome Conferring Leaf Rust Resistance Derived From Boiss.

Alien chromosome introgression has become a valuable tool to broaden the genetic variability of crop plants via chromosome engineering. This study details the procedure to obtain monosomic addition and monosomic substitution lines of the triticale carrying 2S chromosome from Boiss., which harbors + leaf and stripe rust-resistant gene loci, respectively.

Development of Triticale × Wheat Prebreeding Germplasm With Loci for Slow-Rusting Resistance.

There is a growing interest in breeding and production of hexaploid triticale (× Wittmack ex A. Camus) in European Union and in the world. It is reported that triticale can be an alternative to wheat ( L.
