Genetic diversity is crucial for crop improvement. In wheat this resource is distributed within
the three gene pools of the tribe Triticeae and priority usage over the last decade has been …

Towards diversifying the germplasm base available for durum wheat (Triticum turgidum) the
production and morpho-cytogenetic categorization of F1 hybrid combinations between …

The new salt tolerant cereal, Tritipyrum (2n= 6x= 42, AABBE b E b) offers potential to
introduce desirable characters for wheat improvements. This study was aimed to generate a …

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 tertiary gene tetraploid Aegilops variabilis (2n= 4x= 28; UUSS) is an alien germplasm
resource that provides much needed genetic diversity for resistance to Cochliobolus sativus …

Due to modern wheat breeding efforts, which resulted in the development of new high-
yielding wheat cultivars, global crop production has increased in recent decades. The …

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 …

Ancient wheats are progressively more considered as valuable resources for genes of
interest especially in organic and health food markets which could be introduced into …

Abstract Thinopyrum ponticum (2n= 10x= 70), a wild relative of common wheat (Triticum
aestivum L.), is considered an invaluable genetic resource for wheat improvement due to its …

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