However, it relies on the possibility of the chromosomes from the crop and wild species in interspecific crosses to recognize, associate, and undergo crossover formation during meiosis, the cellular process responsible for producing gametes with half the genetic content of their parent cells. Unfortunately, in most cases, a barrier exists preventing successful hybridization between the wild and crop chromosomes. Understanding the mechanisms controlling chromosome associations during meiosis are of great interest in plant breeding and will allow chromosome manipulation to introduce genetic variability from related species into a crop. In addition to interspecific hybrids, other materials, such as natural and synthetic polyploids and introgression lines derived from allopolyploids, among others, are powerful tools in the framework of plant breeding. For example, an extra pair of alien chromosomes in the full genome complement of a crop species has been frequently used as a first step to access genetic variation from the secondary gene pool in breeding programs. In addition, such introgression lines are also pivotal in the study of interspecific genetic interactions, in the chromosomal location of genetic markers, and in the study of chromosome structure and behavior in somatic and meiotic cells. Contained in this Special Issue are accounts of original research, including new tools to identify chromosome introgressions and the development and characterization of introgression lines and interspecific hybrids carrying desirable agronomic traits for plant breeding purposes. Also included are reviews about the chromosome engineering of tropical cash crops and the effect of chromosome structure on chromosome associations and recombination during meiosis to allow chromosome manipulation in the framework of plant breeding. 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 606 $aBiology, life sciences$2bicssc 610 $afluorescence in situ hybridization 610 $amini-satellite 610 $atandem repeats 610 $awheat 610 $astarch 610 $atritordeum 610 $awaxy proteins 610 $awheat quality 610 $awild barley 610 $agrain colour 610 $aHordeum chilense 610 $awheat introgression 610 $arye 610 $a5R dissection line 610 $aPCR-based markers 610 $aphysical map 610 $astripe rust 610 $achromosome rearrangements 610 $ameiotic recombination 610 $acrossover distribution 610 $aTriticeae 610 $abarley 610 $aanatomy 610 $acitrus 610 $aflow cytometry 610 $ahistogenic layer 610 $apolyploidy breeding 610 $aAegilops 610 $acentric breaks 610 $achromosome fusion 610 $aRobertsonian translocations 610 $atelosomic chromosomes 610 $atriticale 610 $awheat bread-making gene 610 $aintrogression 610 $aPCR markers 610 $atropical cash crops 610 $acoffee 610 $acacao 610 $apapaya 610 $achromosome engineering 610 $asynthetic biology 610 $ameiosis 610 $achromosome pairing 610 $anon-homologous recombination 610 $acytogenetics 610 $aalien chromosome 610 $apolyploidy 610 $aaneuploidy 615 7$aResearch & information: general 615 7$aBiology, life sciences 700 $aPrieto$b Pilar$4edt$0317569 702 $aPrieto$b Pilar$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557124203321 996 $aChromosome Manipulation for Plant Breeding Purposes$93038147 997 $aUNINA
