successful crops breeding and maintaining genetic variability within crops. Bread wheat, the …

Genetic diversity is crucial for crop improvement. In wheat this resource is distributed within
the three gene pools of the tribe Triticeae and priority usage over the last decade has been …

Common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a grass species, cultivated world wide. Globally, it is
the most important human food grain and ranks second in total production as a cereal crop …

Synthetic plants as well as wild crop species are valuable genetic resourses. To determine
the genetic variation in triticale, tritipyrum as well as wheat lines, genomic DNA of this …

Partial amphiploids are lines that contain 42 (38–42) wheat and 14 (14–18) alien
chromosomes. They are derived by backcrossing wheat onto hybrids between wheat and …
