This line is a highprotein line resistant to leaf rust, yellow rust, and powdery mildew under field conditions and has 42 chromosomes. GISH analysis using a total genomic DNA probe from Thinopyrum intermedium resulted in the identification of 14 chromosomes of wheatgrass origin. The sequential GISH patterns obtained using St-genomic and J-genomic DNA as probes and ABD-genomic DNA from wheat as a blocker led to a better determination of the genomic type of wheatgrass chromosomes. Rearrangements involving Thinopyrum chromosomes and the A, B, and D genomes of wheat were not observed. FISH using the repetitive DNA probes , Afa-family, and pTa71 allowed for identification of all the wheat chromosomes present. Key words: FISH, GISH, wheat–Thinopyrum intermedium introgression line 1. Introduction The use of alien germplasm has increased intensively in cereal breeding programs for wheat improvement (Whitford et al., 2013). The alien species involved in the development of new amphiploids and wheat–alien chromosome addition, .
