Abstract Background: Two-line hybrid wheat system using thermo-photo sensitive genic male sterility (TPSGMS) is currently the most promising approach for wheat heterosis utilization in China. However, during past twenty years only few TPSGMS lines were developed in hybrid wheat breeding, which has been the main limiting factor to create heterotic hybrids. Application of doubled haploid (DH) breeding provides a useful strategy to efficiently develop practically usable TPSGMS lines. Results: F1s and selected F2 and F3 sterile plants of eight crosses made from two commercial TPSGMS lines were used to produce DH lines. We developed a total of 24 elite DH sterile lines with stable sterility, good outcrossing and yield potential, resistance to yellow rust and powdery mildew, as well as desirable plant height (50-60 cm). These DH lines were developed within 4 years through at least one year of evaluation. The stability of male sterility was confirmed for most (20/24) of these elite DH sterile lines by multiple tests in two or three years. These lines are expected to be used in hybrid wheat breeding. The percentage of elite lines developed from the tested DH lines produced from filial generations was in the order of F2 > F3 > F1. Conclusions: We demonstrate that coupling DH techniques with conventional breeding is an efficient strategy for accelerating the development of more practical wheat TPSGMS lines. Generation of DHs from F2 generation appeared to be the better choice considering the balance of shortening breeding time and overall breeding efficiency.

The thermosensitive genetic male sterility (TGMS) system is considered to be a more efficient alternative to the cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) system for hybrid rice. An F2 population from a cross between a TGMS mutant line (IR32364TGMS) and IR68 was used to map the TGMS gene tms3(t). Fertile and sterile bulks were constructed following the classification of F2 plants into true breeding sterile, fertile, and segregating fertile plants based on F3 family studies. From the survey of 389 arbitrary primers in bulked segregant analysis, four RAPD markers were identified in which three, OPF182600, OPB19750, and OPAA7550, were linked to tms3(t) in repulsion phase and one, OPAC3640, was linked to tms3(t) in coupling phase. The tms3(t) gene was flanked by OPF182600 and OPAC3640 on one side and by OPAA7550 and OPB19750 on the other side. All four markers were low-copy sequences and two of them (OPF182600 and OPAC3640) detected polymorphism when the markers were used to probe the genomic blots. Subsequently, OPAC3640 was mapped to the short arm of chromosome 6 using a mapping population available at IRRI. However, no RFLP markers from this region showed linkage to tms3(t) owing to the lack of polymorphism between the parents. All RAPD fragments were cloned and partially sequenced from both ends. Thus, PCR primers can be designed to develop PCR markers for marker-assisted breeding to facilitate the transfer of tms3(t) from one genetic background to another.Key words: bulked segregant analysis, gene tagging, marker-assisted selection, RAPD, TGMS.
