Cereal rusts and powdery mildews are very important diseases occurred on the cereal crops, which caused yield losses at 5-10% in general and even more than 30% while severe epidemics occurred. In recent years, with the global climate change, change of cultivation system and evolution of the pathogens, the world is facing great challenges caused by cereal diseases.展开更多

However, the genetic variation of cultivated wheat has been dramatically narrowed by genetic erosion under the modem cultivation system, resulting in vulnerability to biotic and abiotic stresses (Jiang et al., 1994; Friebe et al., 1996). The wild relatives of wheat represent a large reservoir of superior genes, and transferring these alien genes to modem cultivars through chromosome engineering is a successful method of broadening the genetic diversity of wheat (Chen et al., 2003;展开更多

Wheatgrass, Thinopyrum intermedium (Host) Barkworth & D.R. Dewey or Agropyron intermedium (Host) Beauvoir (2n = 42; genome formula JJjSjSstst), is a perennial species in the tribe Triticeae and an important source of wheat improvement for biotic and abiotic stress resistance and quality-related traits, such as high grain protein concentration (Chen et al., 1998; 2001; 2003; Han et al., 2004; Li and Wang, 2009). In addition, the ready crossing ability of wheatgrass with various Triticum species has made it popular in germ- plasm development.展开更多
