Abstract
The loss or increased dosage of chromosomes referred to as aneuploidy occurs most frequently in polyploid species. This arises from the genetic duplication which occurs in polyploids, so that chromosome loss or the loss of a certain level of their genetic replication can be tolerated. In no other polyploid has this extended range of aneuploids been as systematically studied or used in genetic analysis as in hexaploid wheat, Triticum aestivum (2n = 6x = 42). Following the work of Sears (1944, 1953, 1954) the complete range of aneuploid lines, nullisomics, monosomics, trisomics and tetrasomics has been made available for analysis. Furthermore, this collection of aneuploid lines has made it possible to define the relationships between the chromosomes of hexaploid wheat in terms of their origin and function.
