Chromosomal nucleotide sequence organisation has been studied in hexaploid wheat, Triticum aestivum, using methods based upon the different renaturation kinetics of repeated and non-repeated sequences. Approximately 25 per cent of the wheat genome consists of non-repeated sequences. Nearly two-thirds of these (15 per cent of the genome) are around 1000 base pairs long interspersed between repeated sequences. Approximately 7 per cent of the genome consists of non-repeated sequences several thousand base pairs long. Less than 5 per cent of the genome consists of very much longer non-repeated sequences. Four per cent of the genome consists of extremely rapidly renaturing (foldback?) sequences. These sequences are distributed through at least 20 per Cent of the genome. © 1976 The Genetical Society of Great Britain. All rights reserved.
