Abstract excerpt
The absence of expression of individual members of a homoeologous set of genes in a polyploid is a well-established phenomenon. However, the extent to which such 'homoeologous silencing' can vary between individual genotypes within a species is unexplored. We have used the single-strand conformation polymorphism assay to identify homoeologue non-expression at 15 single-copy genes across a panel of 16 wheat...
