Abstract

Aegilops tauschii, the D-genome donor of hexaploid wheat, provides a source of genetic variation that could be used for tetraploid (durum) wheat improvement. In addition to the genes for wheat quality on the D-genome, which differentiate between bread and durum wheats in terms of end-use properties, genes coding for resistances to biotic and abiotic stresses are also present on the D-genome which would be useful in durum wheat. The introgression of Ae. tauschii into durum wheat, however, requires cytogenetic manipulation to induce homoeologous chromosome pairing to promote recombination. For this purpose, the introgression of Ae. tauschii into durum wheat was performed through a bridge cross of the wild species to the Langdon 5D(5B) disomic substitution line that lacks the Ph1 locus present on chromosome 5B, followed by a cross of the F1 to the durum wheat cultivar Om Rabi 5. Subsequent generations were self-fertilized, and these were screened for D-genome introgressions using (i) D-genome-specific Kompetitive Allele-Specific PCR (KASP) markers and (ii) KASP markers polymorphic between the 5D chromosomes of wheat, present in the Langdon 5D(5B) substitution line, and of Ae. tauschii. Homozygous introgression lines were confirmed using genomic and fluorescence in situ hybridization. The results showed that the use of the Langdon 5D(5B) disomic substitution line did not promote D-genome introgression across all linkage groups with only a limited success in the introgression of Ae. tauschii 5D segments into durum wheat.

Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
