Karyotype and phenotype in hexaploid and nonaploid wheat. (A) and (B), FISH and GISH images of a metaphase cell of hexaploid wheat. (C) and (D), FISH and GISH images of a metaphase cell of nonaploid wheat. (E) Seedlings of hexaploid and nonaploid wheat. The FISH probes used are pSc119.2 (green), and pAS1 (red), the GISH probes used are genomic DNA from Triticum urartu (genome AA, green), and Aegilops tauchii (genome DD, red); and genome BB (blue) was counterstained with DAPI.

Polyploidy, or whole genome duplication (WGD), is a driving evolutionary force across the tree of life and has played a pervasive role in the evolution of the plant kingdom. It is generally believed that a major genetic attribute contributing to the success of polyploidy is increased gene and genome dosage. The evolution of polyploid wheat has lent...
