Abstract excerpt
For decades, the wheatgrass genus Thinopyrum has been of interest to plant breeders as a source of genes that confer competitive traits. This genus has been a considerable challenge to plant systematists because of the impacts of polyploidization on the evolution of this group. This study was aimed to augment existing cytogenetic data with a sequence-based investigation of the genomes of these species. Sequences...
