Synthetic Hexaploids: Harnessing Species of the Primary Gene Pool for Wheat Improvement (2013, background): “Dreisigacker et al. (2008) earlier reported that tolerance of abiotic stresses such as salinity, heat, and drought cannot be directly defined by the performance of their respective Ae. tauschii parents.”
Evolutionary Plant Breeding in Cereals—Into a New Era (2011, background): “One new pathway for introducing new genetic diversity into the bread wheat gene pool is the reconstitution of hexaploid wheat by interspecific crosses [57].”
Past and Future Use of Wild Relatives in Crop Breeding (2017, methodology): “Synthetic hexaploid wheat lines are derived using these techniques (Dreisigacker et al., 2008; Kilian et al., 2011).”
