Bibliography: leaves 70-85. The aim of this study was to develop the midget chromosome as a model system to isolate structural elements from a cereal chromomsome. The midget is a diminutive chromosome found in wheat plants that contain a substituted rye cytoplasm.

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
