Hybridization and polyploidy have been considered as significant evolutionary forces in
adaptation and speciation, especially among plants. Interspecific gene flow generates novel …

Wild species are extremely rich resources of useful genes not available in the cultivated
gene pool. For species providing staple food to mankind, such as the cultivated Triticum …

Traditional sugarcane cultivars (Saccharum officinarum) proved highly susceptible to
diseases, and this led breeders to progress to interspecific crosses resulting in disease …

Key message Although Ae. tauschii has been extensively utilised for wheat breeding, the D-
genome-containing allopolyploids have largely remained unexploited. In this review, we …

Abstract The Chinese wheat landrace Kaixianluohanmai (KL) expresses the ph-like
phenotype. A major QTL, QPh. sicau-3A (syn. phKL), responsible for this effect has been …

Effective utilization of genetic diversity in wild relatives to improve wheat requires
recombination between wheat and alien chromosomes. However, this is suppressed by the …

In this study, the intergeneric hybrids F1, F2, BC1F1, BC1F2, and BC2F1 from Elytrigia
elongata and Triticum aestivum crosses were produced to study their chromosome pairing …

The tribe Triticeae contains about 500 diploid and polyploid taxa, among which are
important crops, such as wheat, barley and rye. The phylogenetic relationships, genome …

During the past quarter century, molecular phylogenetic inferences have significantly
resolved evolutionary relationships spanning the eukaryotic tree of life. With improved …

Trigeneric hybrids in Triticeae may help to establish evolutionary relationships among
different genomes present in the same cellular genetic background and to transfer different …
