Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L., 2 n= 4 x= 28; AABB genomes) is a natural hybrid—an
allotetraploid between 2 wild species, Triticum urartu Tumanian (AA genome) and Aegilops …

The wheat progenitors and other wild relatives continue to be important sources of genes for
agronomically desirable traits, which can be transferred into durum wheat (Triticum …

In an attempt to transfer genes for salt tolerance and other desirable traits from the diploid
wheatgrasses, Thinopyrum bessarabicum (2n= 2x= 14; JJ genome) and Lophopyrum …

Key message A variety of Thinopyrum bessarabicum introgressions in both hexaploid and
tetraploid wheats were generated and characterized by molecular cytogenetic analysis. Six …

Thinopyrum intermedium and barley are two close relatives of wheat and carry many genes
that are potentially valuable for the improvement of various wheat traits. In this study we …

Wheat chromosome engineering, ie, the transfer of alien chromosome segments from
various Triticeae species into cultivated wheats, is greatly benefiting from the recent …

The agricultural scene characterizing the onset of the third millennium appears to be
profoundly different from that of a few decades ago, with concerns about natural resources …

Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L., 2n= 4x= 28; AABB genomes) is an important cereal
