Abstract excerpt
Modern hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.; AABBDD) has evolved from a hybrid of tetraploid wheat (closely related to Triticum turgidum L. ssp. durum (Desf.) Husn., AABB) and goatgrass (Aegilops tauschii Coss., DD). Variations in chromosome structure and ploidy have played important roles in wheat evolution. How these variations occur and their role in expanding the genetic diversity of modern wheat remain...
