Figure 1

Variation in cuticular wax production among Ae. tauschii accessions. (A,B) Non-glaucous accessions of Ae. tauschii. PI508262 and KU-2075 are classified as subspecies tauschii and subspecies strangulata, respectively. (C,D) Glaucous accessions of Ae. tauschii. (E) A tetraploid wheat cultivar Langdon. (F) A synthetic hexaploid wheat line with the non-glaucous phenotype: the line was derived from an interspecific cross between Langdon and a non-glaucous Ae. tauschii accession, KU-2078. (G) A synthetic hexaploid wheat line with the glaucous phenotype; the line was derived from an interspecific cross between Langdon and a glaucous Ae. tauschii accession, KU-2156. (H) Geographical distribution of glaucous-type accessions in Ae. tauschii. The Ae. tauschii accessions were classified into three genealogical lineages, TauL1, TauL2, and TauL3 [19].
