This study explores the role of Aegilops speltoides in suppressing Ph1 and promoting homoeologous pairing in wheat, providing practical utility for improving wheat breeding programs. The suppression of Ph1 is controlled by multiple genes and can increase the number of chiasmata per cell, leading to improved recombination.

Aegilops speltoides Surprisingly, Ae. speltoides was found to not have Ph1 but to promote homoeologous pairing in wheat.

590 hybrids were produced, no. chiasmata per cell was estimated, DNA were isolated, and Southern blots were hybridized with informative markers • The population of 590 hybrids was partitioned by marker allele • ANOVAs were computed to determine marker effect on pairing
