Abstract
The aim is to generate wheat genotypes which exhibit both high homoeologous pairing and recombination. The mut S gene regulates homoeologous recombination. It's mutation in E. coli allows homoeologous recombination between E. coli and S. typhimurium genomes. We will clone wheat mut S 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 mut S loci. These genotypes will be scored for their level of homoeologous recombination.
