Genotyping of hexaploid wheat varieties from different Russian regions by I. G. Adonina, I. N. Leonova, E. D. Badaeva, E. A. Salina

“…This is primarily due to the fact that the varieties originating from the European part of Russia were used to establish winter wheat varieties for West Siberia. Comparative analysis of individual dendrograms constructed using 1–2 markers per chromosome, and with the involvement of a larger number of 5B-chromosome markers allowed us to identify varieties with rearrangements of this chromosome and to assess genetic diversity. …”
