Errata pasted on front fly-leaf. Bibliography: leaves 139-173. This thesis identifies DNA structures and genes involved in the process of homologous chromosome pairing in allohexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum). In addition to studying late replicating DNA, a speculative model on the action of the pairing genes in allohexaploid wheat and the putative function of the AWWM5 gene is discussed.

Results presented include physical and genetic maps of chromosome 6RL incorporating RFLP and PCR markers and CreR, the locus conferring resistance to cereal cyst nematode (CCN). The ability to detect small introgessions of rye chromatin in wheat is demonstrated. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, Dept. of Plant Science, 1997
