Determination of the transmission frequency of chromosome 4S (l) of Aegilops sharonensis in a range of wheat genetic backgrounds.
The transmission of chromosome 4S (l) from Aegilops sharonensis was observed in a range of wheat genetic backgrounds. Chromosome 4S (l) was transmitted at a very high frequency (at least 97.8%) in all crosses. The genetic background appears to only have a small effect on transmission. The frequency of transmission of chromosome 4S (l) was the same in each genetic background through both the male and female gametes.
