We introgressed wheatgrass germplasm from the octoploid amphiploid Triticum aestivum× Lophopyrum elongatum into wheat by manipulating the wheat Ph1 gene and discovered and characterized 130 introgression lines harboring single or, in various combinations, complete and recombined L. elongatum chromosomes. Diploid wheatgrass Lophopyrum elongatum (genomes EE) possesses valuable traits for wheat genetics and breeding. We evaluated several strategies for introgression of this germplasm into wheat. To detect it, we developed and validated multiplexed sets of Sequenom MassARRAY single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers, which differentiated disomic and monosomic L. elongatum chromosomes from wheat chromosomes. We identified 130 introgression lines (ILs), which harbored 108 complete and 89 recombined L. elongatum chromosomes. Of the latter, 59 chromosomes were recombined by one or more crossovers and 30 were involved in centromeric (Robertsonian) translocations or were telocentric. To identify wheat chromosomes substituted for or recombined with L. elongatum chromosomes, we genotyped the ILs with the wheat 90-K Infinium SNP array. We found that most of the wheat 90-K probes correctly detected their targets in the L. elongatum genome and showed that some wheat SNPs are ancient and had originated prior to the divergence of the wheat and L. elongatum lineages. Of the 130 ILs, 52% were homozygous for Ph1 deletion and thus are staged to be recombined further. We failed to detect in the L. elongatum genome the 4/5 reciprocal translocation that has been reported in Thinopyrum bessarabicum and several other Triticeae genomes.
