Article Abstract
Introduction: The Ph1 locus in polyploid wheat enforces strictly bivalent behaviour in meiotic metaphase I, by preventing homoeologues from crossing over. It has always been considered as completely dominant as no homoeologous metaphase I pairing has ever been detected with its single dose present. However, Ph1 also affects pairing and crossing over of homologous chromosomes.
Methods: Homologous crossover frequencies with Ph1 in two, one, and null doses were scored cytologically, as exchanges within a ca. 9.5-9.9 Mbp terminal wheat segment of a wheat-rye translocation T-9 and corresponding segments in chromosome arms 1BS originating from four wheat cultivars.
Results: In all cases, the crossover rates in the tested homologous segment of wheat genome, with a single dose of Ph1 present, were intermediate between those at two and null Ph1 doses. Averaging across all four chromosomes, the crossover rate with a single dose of Ph1 present was 37% higher from that with two doses and 46.4% lower of that with a zero dosage.
Conclusion: The Ph1 locus in wheat affects homologues and appears to operate in a dosage-dependent manner.

is the primary causal agent of Fusarium head blight (FHB), a devastating fungal disease on wheat, barley, and other grains. During infection, produces trichothecene mycotoxins, predominately deoxynivalenol (DON), which contaminate grain and reduce grain yield and quality. Although DON functions as a virulence factor to promote spread in the wheat head, it is not essential for establishing initial infection in wheat or barley.

Proper spatiotemporal expression of meiosis-related genes (MRGs) and other male-microsporogenesis/microgametogenesis-related genes (MMRGs) is crucial for normal anther development, yet their expression patterns remain largely unknown in wheat. The Ph1 locus in wheat is known to contain the Ph1 gene that plays a dual role in promoting pairing between homologous chromosomes but repressing pairing between homoeologous chromosomes, but its genetic function is still unclear. Here, we investigated these issues by conducting a comprehensive transcriptome analysis during wheat anther development in Chinese Spring (CS) and its ph1b deletion mutant under greenhouse and field conditions.

Soil salinity adversely affects plant growth and development, reducing the yield of most crops, including wheat. The highly salt-tolerant wheat germplasm lines W4909 and W4910 were derived from a cross between two moderately salt-tolerant lines, the Chinese Spring (CS)/ disomic addition line AJDAj5 (AJ) and the Ph-inhibitor line (Ph-I) derived from CS/. Molecular markers for gene introgressions in W4909 and W4910 were not reported.

Article Synopsis
- The Ph1 locus in polyploid wheat prevents crossing over between homoeologous chromosomes during meiotic metaphase I, maintaining bivalent behavior.
- It also influences the pairing and crossing over of homologous chromosomes, and its effects can vary based on the number of doses present.
- Results showed that with a single dose of Ph1, crossover rates were 37% higher than with two doses and 46.4% lower than with no doses, indicating Ph1 operates in a dosage-dependent manner.

Optimal plant height is crucial in modern agriculture, influencing lodging resistance and facilitating mechanized crop production. Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) is the most important fiber crop globally; however, the genetic basis underlying plant height remains largely unexplored. In this study, we conducted a genome-wide association study to identify a major locus controlling plant height (PH1) in upland cotton.
