In the present study, in order to develop high density and evenly distributed molecular markers specific for chromosome 6 VL of Dasypyrum villosum, 297 primer pairs were designed based on the expressed sequence tags(EST) sequences, which were previously mapped in different bins of the long arms of wheat homoeologous 6 AL, 6 BL, and 6 DL. By using the Triticum aestivum, D. villosum, T. durum-D. villosum amphiploid, and T. aestivum-D. villosum alien chromosome lines involving chromosome 6 V, it was found that 32(10.77%) primers could amplify specific bands for chromosome 6 V, and 31 could be allocated to chromosome arm 6 VL. These 6 VL specific markers provided efficient tools for the characterization of structural variation involving the chromosome 6 VL in common wheat background as well as for the selection of useful genes located on 6 VL in breeding programs.展开更多
