Abstract

The aim is to generate wheat genotypes which exhibit high homoeologous pairing and recombination. The mutS gene regulates homoeologous recombination. Its mutation in E. coli allows homoeologous recombination between E. coli and S. typhimurium genomes. We will clone wheat mutS homologues and use their sequences to design PCR-based assays for each of the alleles on the A, B and D genomes. M2 seed of a fast neutron irradiated population will be screened using this PCR assay to identify those genotypes carrying deletions of the mutS loci. These genotypes will be scored for their level of homoeologous recombination.
