Abstract
IN hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum, 2n = 6x = 42) the constituent genomes A, B and D derive from closely related diploid species (2n = 2x = 14) within the sub-tribe Triticinae1–4. The seven different chromosomes of each genome have genetically equivalent (homoeologous) chromosomes in the other two genomes5. Homoeologous chromosomes generally compensate each other in nullisomic-tetrasomic combinations5.
