ABSTRACT
Cytogenetics, as have all other fields dealing with analysis and manipulation of the genome of plants of agricultural relevance such as wheat, has remarkably benefited from the substantial advancements in molecular biology in recent years. Molecular biology has succeeded in providing scientists and breeders with such an array of technical and methodological tools that their work has become perhaps more sophisticated and complex, but certainly more accurate, finely targeted, and greatly rewarding in terms of both basic knowledge and practical achievements.
