Chromosome structure of wild wheat relative Aegilops uniaristata (Triticeae)

Compared to wheat, all chromosomes of Ae. uniaristata, with the exception of 5N, were found significantly rearranged due to multiple inter- and intrachromosomal translocations and inversions. Discussion/ Conclusion: The N genome structure revealed in our study is useful for understanding karyotype evolution and facilitating introgression from Ae. uniaristata and the N genome of polyploid Aegilops species for wheat improvement.
