title: The control of recombination in wheat by Ph1 and its use in breeding.
abstract: Two meiotic processes have a major influence on the plant breeding, namely, the independent assortment of chromosomes, and recombination. The major chromosome pairing locus in hexaploid and tetraploid wheat, Ph1, has a significant effect on both these processes. This chapter reviews our current understanding of this locus and how mutants of it can be exploited for breeding purposes.
