Abstract
An Aegilops cylindrica chromosome induces terminal deletions of chromosomes in wheat as identified by C-banding. We are constructing high-density physical maps of wheat chromosomes and have detected additional chromosome rearrangements. Among 63 lines with chromosomal subarm deletions in group 7 chromosomes, 7 lines (11.1%) were shown to harbor additional chromosome rearrangements. Two other lines were also omitted from the physical mapping because of the nature of the breakpoint calculations. The presence or absence of chromosome-specific restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) or random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers indicated that additional interstitial deletions are present in 3 lines (4.8%) with deletions in the short chromosome arms and in 4 lines (6.3%) with deletions in the long chromosome arms. We also used chromosome pairing analysis of F1 plants of deletion lines with double ditelosomic lines of 'Chinese Spring' wheat to detect small terminal deletions. The deletion of the most distal 1% of chromosome arm 7AL was associated with a pairing reduction of 60%.
