Substitution of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) chromosomes 7A, 1D, 3A, 3B, 3D, 4A and 4D of cultivar Cappelle Desprez by their homologues of cultivar Bezostaya-1 increased the seedling tolerance to high concentrations of copper (1 μM CuSO4⋅ 5 H2O). Substitution of chromosome 1A had negative effects on seedling tolerance.

Keywords: chromosome substitution lines; root growth; shoot growth
Subjects: chromosome substitution, Cu toxicity tolerance; copper toxicity tolerance; heavy metals; Triticum aestivum; wheat, copper toxicity tolerance
