Chromosome structure and organization

  • Chapter
Wheat Breeding

Part of the book series: Wheat Breeding ((TLB))

Abstract

The secrets of a crop’s behaviour - past, present and future - are contained in its chromosomes. Their structure provides a unique continuity with, and hence a vital record of, its past, as well as containing the information of the successful cultivars of today. Chapter 1, on the evolutionary history of wheat, and Chapter 6, on its genetic structure, have already referred to the chromosomes. Other chapters have mentioned the chromosomes in passing, insofar as they relate to the subjects considered, but here the chromosomes are the main subject. This chapter describes the results of many cytological, cytochemical, cell biological, molecular and biochemical studies which together have revealed the chromosomes - nuclear, chloroplast and mitochondrial - and physical and chemical structures, and as complex informational molecules with intricate organization. An attempt will be made to explain or suggest how knowledge of the structure and organization of chromosomes relates to other interests, and how it can provide new insights into chromosome history, useful new means of handling them in breeding programmes and a novel understanding of how their genetic behaviour is controlled.
