This project investigates the Ph1 locus in wheat to enhance chromosome pairing during meiosis, facilitating genetic recombination. By utilizing ph1 mutants, the project aims to introduce beneficial traits from wild barley into wheat, improving disease resistance and nutritional content.
Wheat is one of the most important food crops in the world and understanding its genetics and genome organisation is of great value for genetics and plant breeding purposes.
Despite is genome complexity (polyploidy), hexaploid and tetraploid wheats behave as diploids during meiosis.
This means that each chromosome only recognises its identical (homologue) to pair and not the related chromosomes (homeologues).
There are several pairing homologous (Ph) genes controlling chromosome pairing in wheat…
