Evolution of the Allopolyploid Species of the Sub-tribe Triticineae
Moshe Feldman,
Avraham A. Levy
Abstract:The chapter describes the mode, time, and place of origin of the allopolyploids of the genus Triticum. In addition, genetic and epigenetic changes due to allopolyploidization that brought about to cytological diploidization (exclusive homologous chromosome pairing), are discussed within the chapter. The suppression of pairing between homoeologous chromosomes in hexaploid wheat Triticum aestivum by the Ph1 gene, its discovery, the induction of mutations in this gene, its isolation, the theories concerning its m… Show more
