Abstract

Given the sizes of the three genomes in wheat (A, B, and D) and a limited number of chiasmata formed in meiosis, recombination by crossing-over is a very rare event. It is also restricted to very similar homologues; the pairing homoeologous (Ph) system of wheat prevents differentiated chromosomes from pairing and crossing-over. This chapter presents an overview and describes several systems by which the frequency or density of crossing-over can be increased, both in homologues and homoeologues. It also presents the standard system of E.R. Sears for engineering alien chromosome transfers into wheat.
