This study was planned to identify the chromosomal location of esterase loci in wheat (Triticum aestivum), in comparison to Aegilops uniaristata, using wheat Ae. uniaristata disomic addition and translocation lines. Two loci (Est-N1 and Est-N8) were identified on 3N chromosome of Ae. uniaristata and their probable homoeoloci were, for the first time, mapped close to three RFLP probes (Xpsr56, Xpsr394, and Xpsr1196) on homoeologous group 3 wheat chromosomes.
