A procedure is described by which the following materials and information can be obtalned in a relatively short time (8‐10 crop generations): I) a monosomic set of male‐sterile Chris in Triticum timopheevi Zhuk. cytoplasm; 2) chromosomal location of male‐fertility restoring genes in several R‐lines; and 3) substitution of chromosomes carrying male‐fertility restoring genes to the genetic background of several common wheat varieties and the development of male‐sterile monosomics for the critical chromosomes in these varieties.
