| Abstract: | Six ‘Chinese Spring/Triticum spelta’ substitution lines for chromosomes 1A, 1D (duplicates), 3D (duplicates), 6D, and one ‘Chinese Spring/ Marquis’ substitution line for chromosome 2B were studied for tissue-culture response (TCR). The results reported here indicate that chromosomes 2B and 6D are critical for TCR, whereas chromosome ID affects callus weight only. Chromosomes 1A and 3D were not found to be critical, however, these chromosomes may carry genes with minor effects. |
