Abstract
Triticum aestivum (2n= 6x = 42) is an allohexaploid species in which the three genomes (A, B and D] were derived from closely related 14-chromosome diploid species1. Every pair of homologous chromosomes has a genetically corresponding, or homoeologous, pair in each of the other two genomes2.
