Abstract excerpt
The rDNA loci, and their associated NORs, on chromosomes 1B and 6B of the hexaploid wheat cv. Lindström have been used as a chromatin marker to investigate the functional basis of the phenotype effects of introgressed supernumerary B chromosomes (Bs) of rye. The rye Bs themselves lack genes, other than those which determine their mitotic drive mechanism, and the way in which they can modulate characters...
