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 …

An interesting and possibly unique pattern of genome evolution following polyploidy can be
observed among allopolyploids of the Triticum and Aegilops genera (wheat group). Most …

Non-denaturing FISH (ND-FISH) technology has been widely used to study the
chromosomes of Triticeae species because of its convenience. The oligo probes for ND …

Key message Fluorescence in situ hybridization with probes for 45 cDNAs and five tandem
repeats revealed homoeologous relationships of Agropyron cristatum with wheat. The …

Main conclusion A general distribution of tandem repeats (TRs) in the wheat genome was
predicted and a new web page combined with fluorescence in situ hybridization …

Five diploid Aegilops species of the Sitopsis section: Ae. speltoides, Ae. longissima, Ae.
sharonensis, Ae. searsii, and Ae. bicornis, two tetraploid species Ae. peregrina (= Ae …

Stem rust is one of the most devastating diseases of wheat. Widely virulent races of the
pathogen in the Ug99 lineage (eg, TTKSK) are threatening wheat production worldwide; …

Oligonucleotide probes and the non-denaturing fluorescence in situ hybridization (ND-FISH)
technique are widely used to analyze plant chromosomes because they are convenient …

This open access book covers a century of research on wheat genetics and evolution,
starting with the discovery in 1918 of the accurate number of chromosomes in wheat. We re …

Ideograms are diagrammatic or idealized representations of chromosomes, showing their
relative size, homologous groups and cytogenetic landmarks. Chromosomal analysis of …
