Chromosome translocation as an efficient way to transferring desirable genes to common wheat is successful in creating new wheat germplasm.In this paper the development of the technology on the utility of wheat relatives to common wheat and the influence of this technology on chromosome translocation to transfer desirable genes are summarized.Common wheat as an polypoids is considered more efficient to succeed on chromosome translocation.The studies on wheat evaluation and the relationship among wheat genomes promote the application of chromosome translocation in transferring desir- able genes to common wheat.As the advantage of the chromosome transolcation was ap- peared gradually in wheat breeding programmes,it presents a new way to creating wheat germplasm.
