Pairing between wheat (Triticum turgidum and T. aestivum) homeologous chromosomes is prevented by the expression of the Ph1 locus on the long arm of chromosome 5B. The genome of Aegilops speltoides suppresses Ph1 expression in wheat x Ae. speltoides hybrids. Suppressors with major effects were mapped as Mendelian loci on the long arms of Ae. speltoides chromosomes 3S and 7S. The chromosome 3S locus was designated Su1-Ph1 and the chromosome 7S locus was designated Su2-Ph1. A QTL with a minor effect was mapped on the short arm of chromosome 5S and was designated QPh.ucd-5S. The expression of Su1-Ph1 and Su2-Ph1 increased homeologous chromosome pairing in T. aestivum x Ae. speltoides hybrids by 8.4 and 5.8 chiasmata/cell, respectively. Su1-Ph1 was completely epistatic to Su2-Ph1, and the two genes acting together increased homeologous chromosome pairing in T. aestivum x Ae. speltoides hybrids to the same level as Su1-Ph1 acting alone. QPh.ucd-5S expression increased homeologous chromosome pairing by 1.6 chiasmata/cell in T. aestivum x Ae. speltoides hybrids and was additive to the expression of Su2-Ph1. It is hypothesized that the products of Su1-Ph1 and Su2-Ph1 affect pairing between homeologous chromosomes by regulating the expression of Ph1 but the product of QPh.ucd-5S may primarily regulate recombination between homologous chromosomes.
