This report includes genetic stocks incorporating barley chromosomes into the wheat background as wheat-barley disomic and ditelosomic additions, disomic and ditelosomic substitutions, and translocation lines produced and reported thus far. The barley and wheat parents used in the production of these lines and the producer's name are given. The standard barley chromosomes present are given in arabic numerals and the homoeologous designations in parenthesis. In case of substitutions, the wheat chromosomes replaced are also given in parenthesis. Other symbols used include: H = genomic symbol for barley, S = short arm, L = long arm.
