Supernumerary B Chromosomes and Plant Genome Changes: A Snapshot of Wild Populations of <i>Aegilops speltoides</i> Tausch (<i>Poaceae</i>, Triticeae)

Supernumerary B Chromosomes and Plant Genome Changes: A Snapshot of Wild Populations of <i>Aegilops speltoides</i> Tausch (<i>Poaceae</i>, Triticeae)

In various eukaryotes, supernumerary B chromosomes (Bs) are an optional genomic component that affect their integrity and functioning. In the present study, the impact of Bs on the current changes in the genome of goatgrass, <i>Aegilops speltoides</i>, was addressed. Individual plants fr...
