Abstract excerpt
This study explored the genetic constitutions of wheat-Agropyron cristatum 6P chromosomal translocation and determined the effects of 6P intercalary chromosome segment on thousand-grain weight and spike length in wheat. Crop wild relatives provide rich genetic resources for wheat improvement. Introduction of alien genes from Agropyron cristatum into common wheat can broaden its genetic diversity. In this study,...
