Abstract
THE limitations of conventional genome analysis have been widely recognized in recent years. This is particularly true in polyploids and when the degree of divergence in originally homologous genomes incorporated into different species is being measured. The accuracy of assessment could be improved, however, if affinities as revealed by the pairing behaviour between single chromosomes could be analysed. A procedure allowing such analysis was designed and the method and the results obtained are reported here.
