Summary
The transmission of chromosome 4Sl from Aegilops sharonensis was observed in a range of wheat genetic backgrounds. Chromosome 4Sl was transmitted at a very high frequency (at least 97.8%) in all crosses. The genetic background appears to only have a small effect on transmission. The frequency of transmission of chromosome 4Sl was the same in each genetic background through both the male and female gametes.
