“…In contrast, introgressions from crop wild relatives are substitutions or additions of large chromosomal regions and have been used to improve crop plants (Zamir, 2001; Dempewolf et al, 2017), e.g., as source of resistance or tolerance to biotic and abiotic stress in wheat (Rabinovich, 1998; Crespo-Herrera et al, 2017). Experimental methods, such as C-banding (Friebe et al, 1996), dot-blot genomic hybridization (Rey and Prieto, 2017), fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) (Rayburn and Gill, 1986; Schneider et al, 2005), genomic in-situ hybridization (GISH) (Le et al, 1989; Schwarzacher et al, 1989) and acid or SDS-PAGE (Milovanović et al, 1998), are the state-of-the-art wet-lab techniques for detection and characterization of introgressions. However, these techniques are sophisticated and can only be handled by few labs.…”
