Development of genome-specific primers for homoeologous genes in allopolyploid species: the <it>waxy </it>and <it>starch synthase II </it>genes in allohexaploid wheat (<it>Triticum aestivum </it>L.) as examples
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>In allopolypoid crops, homoeologous genes in different genomes exhibit a very high sequence similarity, especially in the coding regions of genes. This makes it difficult to design genome-specific primers to amplify individual genes...
