The distribution of heterochromatic regions in the chromosomes of diploid, tetraploid and hexaploid wheat shows that the B genome possesses characteristic large blocks. Though analyses of probable B genome donors indicate that Aegilops speltoides has a pattern of distribution of heterochromatin nearest to the B genome chromosomes, a polyphyletic origin of tetraploid wheat seems more plausible.
