Abstract
Thinopyrum elongatum (Host) D.R. Dewey is a valuable resource for the application of genomic engineering and modern genetic technologies aimed at wheat improvement because it carries genome Е, the parent genome of the Thinopyrum genus. Its representatives are successfully used in distant hybridization and production of introgressive lines for transferring genes of economically valuable traits into new wheat varieties. This review presents the available data on the main genetically characterized traits of Th. elongatum that have been or can be used for transfer into the wheat genome. These traits include resistance to fusariosis, septoriosis, rust diseases, and abiotic environmental factors – overwatering, soil salinity and low temperatures, as well as the traits that determine the quality of bakery products. The latest studies of Th. elongatum genome by genome and transcriptome sequencing are also considered.
