In order lo investigate the origin of two of the German 1RS. 1BL wheat‐rye translocations used world‐wide in breeding, a number of DNA probes were considered which (a) were critical for the short arm of the rye chromosome 1 R and (b) should show a specificity for the gene pool of Petkus rye. The DNA probe CDO580 was revealed as a specific one. (1) It clearly differentiated 1RS.1AL (‘Amigo’). 1RS.lBL (‘Salmon’) and 1RS.1DL (‘Gabo’) from the two German sources. (2) Both translocation wheats deriving from the Weihenstephan (Munich) and from the Salzmünde (Halle/S.) origin showed an identical DNA fragment which was typical for the gene pool of Petkus rye. It is supposed that both German sources have one progenitor in common.
