genus, Poaceae), related species can be used as important sources of genes. In the tribe
Triticeae as a whole, which comprises other important cereals as barley (Hordeum vulgare)
and rye (Secale cereale), there are high rates of successful interspecific hybridization [1-2].
Due to the ease in obtaining these hybrids, plus the high amount of available information on
the genomes of the species, the interspecific hybrids are potentially useful for the genetic …
