title: CEREAL CHROMOSOME STRUCTURE, EVOLUTION, AND PAIRING.
abstract: The determination of the order of genes along cereal chromosomes indicates that the cereals can be described as a single genetic system. Such a framework provides an opportunity to combine data generated from the studies on different cereals, enables chromosome evolution to be traced, and sheds light on key structures involved in cereal chromosome pairing. Centromeric and telomeric regions have been highlighted as important in these processes.
