Wild relatives are the gene pools for wheat genetic improvement. Distant hybridization helps to enrich the genetic diversity of wheat and cultivate excellent new germplasm. Leymus mollis (NsNsXmXm, 2n=4x=28) is a perennial self-incompatible species belonging to the Leymus genus, named for its growth in coastal areas. Many excellent characteristics of Leymus mollis, such as cold and drought resistance, salt and alkali tolerance, and resistance to fungal diseases, can be transferred to common wheat through distant hybridization. This paper mainly introduces the composition of the Leymus mollis genome, summarizes the 38 wheat-Leymus introgression lines that have been created, describes the identification methods of the alien chromosome introgression lines, and discusses the impact of the introduction of Leymus mollis genetic materials into the wheat background on the main agronomic traits and quality of the recipient. Finally, the future applications of wheat-Leymus mollis chromosome introgression lines are prospected, to help the researchers further understand and utilize Leymus mollis, excavate its excellent genes, and promote the improvement and innovation of wheat germplasm resources.
