摘要
The wild relatives of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) contain tremendous amounts of potentially useful genes and represent a promising source of genetic diversity for wheat improvement (Bommineni and Jauhar, 1997). Thinopyrum ponticum (Popd.) Barkworth and D. R. Dewey [syn. Agropyron elongatum (Host) P. Beauv., Elytrigia pontica (Podp.) Holub, Lophopy- rum ponticum (Podp.) A. L6ve] (2n = 10x = 70), has high crossability with various Triticum species. Numerous studies have shown that Th. ponticum carries many potentially valu- able resistance genes against biotic and abiotic stresses (Shannon, 1978; Cox, 1991; Zheng et al., 2014a,b). Transferring the useful genes from Th. ponticum to common wheat through chromosome engineering had been a successful way to enhance the resistance of wheat to pests and diseases (Sharma et al., 1989; McIntosh, 1991).
