Development of wheat–alien translocation lines has facilitated practical utilization of alien species in wheat improvement. The production of a compensating Triticum aestivum – Thinopyrum bessarabicum whole‐arm Robertsonian translocation (RobT) involving chromosomes 6D of wheat and 6E b of Th. bessarabicum (2n = 2 x  = 14, E b E b ) through the mechanism of centric breakage–fusion is reported here. An F 2 population was derived from plants double‐monosomic for chromosome 6D and 6E b from crosses between a DS 6E b (6D) substitution line and bread wheat cultivar ‘Roushan’ (2n = 6 x  = 42, AABBDD ) as female parent. Eighty F 2 genotypes (L1–L80) were screened for chromosome composition. Three PCR ‐based Landmark Unique Gene ( PLUG ) markers specific to chromosomes 6D and 6E b were used for screening the F 2 plants. One plant with a T6E b S.6 DL centric fusion (RobT) was identified. A homozygous translocation line with full fertility was recovered among F 3 families and verified with genomic in situ hybridization ( GISH ). Grain micronutrient analysis showed that the DS 6E b (6D) substitution line and T6E b S.6 DL stock have higher Fe and Zn contents than the recipient wheat cultivar ‘Roushan’.
