Abstract
The Jardine–Sibson Bk clustering method was applied to a dissimilarity matrix of genera of the Triticeae to obtain sequences of relationships in terms of overlapping clusters. In this way, the clinal relationships in the tribe were portrayed. Selected aspects of the findings are documented in detail and the results are discussed in the light of previous findings. In addition to those that are corroborated by the present study, new relationships are revealed also. For instance, the Aegilops–Triticum group is reconfirmed here, but the relationship of Henrardia to that group is a new finding which, along with others, should be tested by other means so that eventually it might be used in gene transfer.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
