Cytological markers used for identification and transfer of spp. chromatin carrying valuable genes into cultivated forms of .

There are many reports describing chromosome structure, organization and evolution within goatgrasses ( spp.). Chromosome banding and fluorescence hybridization techniques are main methods used to identify Linnaeus, 1753 chromosomes. These data have essential value considering the close genetic and genomic relationship of goatgrasses with wheat ( Linnaeus, 1753) and triticale (× Wittmack, 1899). A key question is whether those protocols are useful and effective for tracking chromosomes or chromosome segments in genetic background of cultivated cereals. This article is a review of scientific reports describing chromosome identification methods, which were applied for development of prebreeding plant material and for transfer of desirable traits into Linnaeus, 1753 cultivated species. Moreover, this paper is a resume of the most efficient cytomolecular markers, which can be used to follow the introgression of chromatin during the breeding process.
