Abstract
Chromosome engineering is an activity aiming at the introduction into crop plants of chromatin fragments with a desirable genes or loci, or changes in chromosome structure that increase crops’ end value. New chromosome constructs must compensate the absence of original chromosomes; to minimize genetic drag, in introgressions from wild relatives the amounts of transferred chromatin should be kept at minimum. The available techniques include chromosome fragmentation followed by random fusion of fragments into chromosome structures, or induced recombination. The fragmentation approaches produce many translocations but a majority of them are non-compensating. Recombination offers a good measure of control of the location and size of the introgression but requires screening of large populations. The selection of the appropriate technique should be based on specific goals and the available resources.
