Alien chromosome introgression is used for the transfer of beneficial traits in plant breeding. For temperate forage grasses, much of the work in this context has focused on species within the ryegrasses (Lolium spp.) and the closely related fescues...

Detection of T. urartu introgressions in wheat and development of a panel of interspecific introgression lines (2018)
Journal Article
Grewal, S., Edwards, S. H., Yang, C., Scholefield, D., Ashling, S., Burridge, A., …King, J. (2018). Detection of T. urartu introgressions in wheat and development of a panel of interspecific introgression lines. Frontiers in Plant Science, 9, https://doi.org/10.3389/fpls.2018.01565

Tritcum urartu (2n = 2x = 14, AuAu), the A genome donor of wheat, is an important source for new genetic variation for wheat improvement due to its high photosynthetic rate and disease resistance. By facilitating the generation of genome-wide introgr... Read More about Detection of T. urartu introgressions in wheat and development of a panel of interspecific introgression lines.
