Aegilops tauschii (2n=2x=14), the D-genome donor is closest progenitor to modern wheat representing a large proportion of unexplored genetic variation. Flourishing in adverse climatic conditions it can be utilized improvement programmes. We targeted develop and characterize primary synthetics amphiploids from nine different accessions Ae. one Triticum durum cv. PBW114 through spontaneous chromo...

Simple sequence repeats (SSRs, also known as microsatellites) are known to be mutational hotspots in genomes. DNA rearrangements have also been reported to accompany allopolyploidization. A study of the effect of allopolyploidization on SSR mutation is therefore important for understanding the origin and evolutionary dynamics of SSRs in allopolyploids. Three synthesized double haploid (SynDH) p...
