Analysis of Chromosome Associations during Early Meiosis in Wheat Lines Carrying Chromosome Introgressions from <i>Agropyron cristatum</i>

Crested wheatgrass (<i>Agropyron cristatum</i> L. Gaertn., genome P), included in the Triticeae tribe (family Poaceae), is one of the most important grasses in temperate regions. It has been valued as a donor of important agronomic traits for wheat improvement, including tolerance to col...
