Genetic diversity in common wheat lines revealed by fluorescence in situ hybridization

Molecular markers and phenotyping have been widely used to evaluate wheat germplasm diversity. However, the feasibility of using chromosome fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to evaluate wheat genetic diversity has not been well investigated. In this study, seventy-six representative Chinese wheat lines in main wheat production area were selected and investigated with multicolour FISH using Oligo-pTa535, Oligo-pSc119.2 and Oligo-(GAA)8...
