β¦ Synopsis
A gene for frost resistance on chromosome 5A of wheat was located using single chromosome recombinant lines from the cross between the substitution line Hobbit (Triticum spelta 5A) and Hobbit . In this sample of recombinant lines the locus for frost resistance, designated Frl, is completely linked to the locus Vrnl controlling vernalisation requirement . The results can be explained by a pleiotropic action of the Vrnl locus or close genetic linkage between Vrnl and Fr] . Further detailed study is necessary to resolve these alternative hypotheses .

The accumulation of abscisic acid (ABA) by detached and partially dehydrated wheat leaves is known to be inherited in a quantitative manner. The location of genes having a major effect on drought-induced ABA accumulation in wheat was determined using a set of single chromosome substitution lines and
Many genes have been located in wheat chromosomes, yet little is known about the location of genes for resistance to Ustilago tritici, which causes loose smut. Crosses were made between the loose smut susceptible alien substitution lines Cadet 6Ag(6A) and Rescue 6Ag(6A) (lines in which Agropyron chr
