Abstract
B chromosomes (Bs) are supernumerary dispensable components of the standard genome (A chromosomes, As) that have been found in many eukaryotes. So far, it is unkown whether the B‐derived transcripts translate to proteins or if the host proteome is changed due to the presence of Bs. Comparative mass spectrometry was performed using the protein…

Abstract
Los parientes silvestres de cultivos incluyen tanto a los antepasados de los cultivos como a otras especies más o menos estrechamente vinculadas con ellos. Son una fuente vital de genes de resistencia contra enfermedades, plagas y factores de estrés como las sequías y las temperaturas extremas. El empleo de parientes silvestres ha permitido mejorar la resistencia al ácaro del trigo, el…
