Abstract excerpt
When a crop hybridizes with a wild relative, the potential for stable transmission to the wild of any crop gene is directly related to the frequency of crop-wild homoeologous pairing for the chromosomal region where it is located within the crop genome. Pairing pattern at metaphase I (MI) has been examined in durum wheat x Aegilops geniculata interspecific hybrids (2n=4x=ABUgMg) by means of a genomic in-situ...
