The convergence of distinct lineages upon interspecific hybridisation, including when
accompanied by increases in ploidy (allopolyploidy), is a driving force in the origin of many …

Background Polyploidy or whole-genome duplication is now recognized as being present in
almost all lineages of higher plants, with multiple rounds of polyploidy occurring in most …

Key message The innovations in chromosome engineering have improved the efficiency of
interrogation breeding, and the identification and transfer of resistance genes from alien to …

Background A modification of a standard method of fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH)
is described, by which a combination of several substrates and probes on single microscope …

Polyploidy and hybridization play an important role in plant diversification and speciation.
The application of genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) allows the identification of parental …

Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was developed more than 30 years ago and has
been the most paradigm-changing technique in cytogenetic research. FISH has been used …

This review summarizes conventional and recent applications of genomic in situ
hybridization (GISH). GISH is a well recognized technique, but its modifications and …

FISH, which allows the mapping of DNA sequences directly onto chromosomes, has
revolutionized plant molecular cytogenetics research since it was first adapted from …

Introgressive hybridization (introgression) is genetic modification of one species by another
through hybridization and repeated backcrossing. Introgression is important in the evolution …

Genomic in situ hybridization, a modification of fluorescence in situ hybridization technology,
is one of the most exciting and versatile research tools to be developed in recent years. It …
