Abstract excerpt
Synthetic amphiploids play an important role in breeding programs of wheat and in the genetic and evolutionary studies of the wheat group. One of the most obvious uses of amphiploidy has been the development of hexaploid and octaploid Triticale. The utilization of synthetic amphiploids as a means...
