Registration of Three Germplasms of Durum Wheat with Introgressions from Agropyron elongatum and Secale cereale

Three durum wheat (Triticum turgidum var. durum L.) germplasms were developed by cytogenetic chromosome engineering. The presence of Lrl9 on both segments was confirmed by tests with race BBBQ of leaf rust that is virulent on durum wheat; since it is known that y is distal to Lrl9 (Prins et al., 1996), it was assumed to be present on both recombined chromosomes. Small quantities of seed (1-2 g) of these three translocation Unes of durum wheat can be obtained for research and breeding purposes from the author with a standard Material Transfer Agreement.
