Many successful wheat cultivars containing
1RS translocations have been released including
the ‘Veery’ lines developed at CIMMYT (Rajaram et al.
1983). These varieties were derived from three-way
crosses between the Mexican spring semi-dwarf and
winter wheat variety ‘Kavkaz’, which is presumed to
carry 1B/1R translocation from ‘Petkus’ rye (Zeller
1973; Schlegel and Korzun 1997).
