Evaluation of recombinant 1RS/1BL chromosome for end use quality and yield contributing traits in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

1RS/1BL translocations are widely used in wheat breeding programs. The present study aimed to determine the effect of the 1BL/1RS chromosome on agronomic traits and quality characteristics. Wheat varieties with the 1BS-1RS translocation-the transfer of the short arm of chromosome 1 from the B genome of wheat (1BS) with the short arm of chromosome 1 from rye (1RS)-are indeed very popular in global agriculture. This translocation confers several advantages that are highly beneficial for wheat production. All the 34 genotypes were sown in (RBD) Randomized Block Design in two replication and 4 blocks. All genotypes were used for validation of molecular characterization of 1RS/BL wheat chromosome translocation by using the four molecular markers. The markers used in this study was Sfr 43 (Pm 8), Psp 3000 (Glu-B3/Gli-B1), Rye f3/R3 (1 RS) and OMEGA (P3 P4) Secalin-1. The study you're referring to highlights the use of marker-assisted selection (MAS) as a method for improving crops by identifying and replacing loci with negative effects within alien translocations.
