Abstract
The size and structure of the wheat genome makes it one of the most complex
crop species for genetic analysis. The development of molecular techniques for
genetic analysis, in particular the use of molecular markers to monitor DNA
sequence variation between varieties, landraces, and wild relatives of wheat
and related grass species, has led to a dramatic expansion in our
understanding of wheat genetics and the structure and behaviour of the wheat
genome. This review provides an overview of these developments, examines some
of the special issues that have arisen in applying molecular techniques to
genetic studies in wheat, and looks at the applications of these technologies
to wheat breeding and to improving our understanding of the genetic basis of
traits such as disease resistance and processing quality. The review also
attempts to foreshadow some of the key molecular issues and developments that
may occur in wheat genetics and breeding over the next few years.
