Application of alien genes from Secale cereale in wheat breeding

Secale cereale,an important alien gene resource for wheat breeding,has many usufull genes to improve the wheat.Therefore,transferring genes of Secale cereale to wheat can not only widen genetic materials of wheat,but also improve the yield,quality,resistance and adaption of wheat.The progress were reviewed in this paper on the ways of transferring genes of Secale cereale to wheat,the gene resources identification of Secale cereale and the application,in order to promoter the transfer of genes of Secale cereale to wheat and make good use of this gene resource.
