This research utilized an enzymatic root-tip squash method of chromosome preparation which was used to discover the genome composition in xTriticoleymus. The genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) method was used to distinguish how many came from each parental species.
Í þessari rannsókn voru litningar einangraðir úr rótarendum xTriticoleymus og skoðaður fjöldi litninga xTriticoleymus og aðgreint hversu margir kæmu úr hvorri foreldraplöntu með genomic in situ hybridization (GISH).
