The use of telocentric chromosomes in the analysis of the genomic relationships of wheat Triticum aestivum L. em Thell. and its relatives is described and 20 examples are given. The connection between this method of analysis and other mathematical theories of chromosome pairing in hybrids is established. A demonstration of the validity of the assumption that all chromosome arms pair at an equal frequency in calculating expected meiotic analyses is presented. This establishes a practical basis for the development of further mathematical models for predicting meiotic chromosome behavior. Numerical values of the genomic relationships of wheat and its immediate relatives are given.
