Gene transfer from wild wheat relatives to bread wheat is restricted to homologous recombination. The presence of the Pairing homoeologous 1 (Ph1) gene in the long arm of wheat chromosome 5B allows only homologous chromosomes to pair and recombine, resulting in diploid inheritance of polyploid wheat. Previously, we identified a potent homoeologous pairing promotor gene(s) (Hpp-5M(g)); its carrier chromosome 5M(g)derived fromAegilops geniculataand its wheat homoeologous chromosome 5D freely recombined in the presence of thePh1gene. In this study, we investigated the effect ofHpp-5M(g)on homoeologous recombination in the absence ofPh1. InHpp-5M(g)/ph1bph1bplants, we observed a vast genome-wide increase in homoeologous recombination and multiple crossovers (CO), including CO breakpoints in proximal regions of the chromosomes where recombination is known to be suppressed. We tested the efficacy ofHpp-5M(g)/ph1bph1b-induced homoeologous recombination by producing new recombinants for the wheat streak mosaic virus resistance gene,Wsm3, present in the wheat-Thinopyrum intermediumRobertsonian translocation (RobT T7BS.7S#3L). A recombination frequency of 6.5% was detected by screening the progenies double monosomic for T7BS.7S#3L and 7B by genomic in situ hybridization. This recombination frequency was about 100-fold higher compared with the recombinant frequency of 0.06% observed by usingph1b-induced homoeologous recombination alone. Our results indicate that chromosome 5M(g)promotes homoeologous recombination between wheat and wild wheat relative chromosomes, which helps in the generation of pre-breeding materials thereby accelerating wheat crop improvement.
