[Advances in studies of genome-specific repetitive DNA sequences in wheat and related species].
In this paper we review recent advances in studies of several aspects of genome specific repetitive DNA sequences in wheat and related species. The available results demonstrate that genome specific repetitive DNA sequences are important components of genome specificity in wheat and related species. Research on genome specific repetitive DNA sequences is essential to the elucidation of genome function. The application of genome specific repetitive DNA sequences will aid molecular cytogenetic studies in wheat and related species and contributes to genetic improvement of common wheat.
