Cuticular wax on the aerial surface of plants has a protective function against many environmental stresses. The bluish–whitish appearance of wheat leaves and stems is called glaucousness. Most modern cultivars of polyploid wheat species exhibit the glaucous phenotype, while in a wild wheat progenitor,Ae. tauschii, both glaucous and non-glaucous accessions exist.Iw2, a wax inhibitor locus on the short arm of chromosome 2D, is the main contributor to this phenotypic variation inAe. tauschii, and the glaucous/non-glaucous phenotype ofAe. tauschiiis usually inherited by synthetic hexaploid wheat. However, a few synthetic lines show the glaucous phenotype although the parentalAe. tauschiiaccessions are non-glaucous. Molecular marker genotypes indicate that the exceptional non-glaucousAe. tauschiiaccessions share the same genotype in theIw2chromosomal region as glaucous accessions, suggesting that these accessions have a different causal locus for their phenotype. This locus was assigned to the long arm of chromosome 3D using an F2mapping population and designatedW4, a novel glaucous locus inAe. tauschii. The dominantW4allele confers glaucousness, consistent with phenotypic observation ofAe. tauschiiaccessions and the derived synthetic lines. These results implied that glaucous accessions ofAe. tauschiiwith theW2W2iw2iw2W4W4genotype could have been the D-genome donor of common wheat.
