Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), which allows direct mapping of DNA sequences
on chromosomes, has become the most important technique in plant molecular cytogenetics …

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), with a large genome (16000 Mb) and high proportion (∼ 80%)

Chromosomal change is one of the more hotly debated potential mechanisms of speciation.
It has long been argued over whether–and to what degree–changes in chromosome …

In spite of more than 200 years of botanical exploration of the Orient, resulting in many
herbaria and germplasm collections, sequence data, and transferred alleles, our knowledge …

Wild crop relatives have been playing enormously important roles both in the depiction of
