The identified translocated
chromosomes were not related to the semi-dwarfing gene of Saitama 27.
Consequently, these translocations are not expected to exist in the
European wheat, unless they contain other useful breeding factors.
The obvious difference in the genetic background between the Japanese
and European wheat would enable the exclusion of any undesirable
genetic factors from the progenies of the initial intervarietal
cross.
