The invention discloses a breeding method for breeding a wheat near-isogenic line by utilizing an elytrigia besa equal-arm
chromosome i4JL, the i4JL has specific fluorescent stripes, is easy to distinguish from wheat chromosomes, is mainly transferred through
female gametes in a wheat background, is extremely low in male
gamete transfer rate, contains two doses of blue-grain genes, and can be used for breeding wheat near-isogenic lines. Therefore, the
selfing progeny of the wheat-elytrigia besa i4JL
monomer addition line MAi4JL always shows separation of blue grains and non-blue grains which are easy to sort, the MAi4JL is hybridized with any non-blue grain wheat, and after blue grain seeds are selected from the
hybrid progeny and continuously planted for five generations, wheat blue grain and non-blue grain near-isogenic lines with different backgrounds and phenotypes are obtained. A new method is provided for the breeding of the near-isogenic line of wheat; due to the fact that i4JL obviously reduces the
plant height in different wheat backgrounds and obviously affects
gene expression in wheat stalks and grains, the i4JL has important application potential in wheat genetic breeding research and application.
