Among cereal crops, wheat has been identified as a major source for human food
consumption. Wheat breeders require access to new genetic diversity resources to satisfy …

Hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum, genomes AABBDD) originated by hybridization of
tetraploid Triticum turgidum (genomes AABB) with Aegilops tauschii (genomes DD). Genetic …

Abstract Background and Aims The diploid goat grass Aegilops tauschii (2 n= 2 x= 14) is
native to the Middle East and is the D-genome donor to hexaploid bread wheat. The aim of …

Aegilops tauschii Coss. is the D‐genome progenitor of hexaploid wheat. Aegilops tauschii, a
wild diploid species, has a wide natural species range in central Eurasia, spreading from …

This open access book covers a century of research on wheat genetics and evolution,
starting with the discovery in 1918 of the accurate number of chromosomes in wheat. We re …

Chloroplast DNA sequences show substantial variation between higher plant species, and
less variation within species, so are typically excellent markers to investigate evolutionary …

Wild relatives of wheat are potential sources of valuable genetic materials for wheat
improvement. Knowledge of the genetic diversity of wild relative species of wheat is crucial …

A population of 105 wheat genotypes (including 94 hexaploid and 11 tetraploid genotypes)
was used to determine genetic diversity. Samples were grown based on the randomized …

The aim of this study is investigation the applicability of SSR and ISSR markers in evaluating
the genetic relationships in twenty accessions of Aegilops and Triticum species with D …

Genetic diversity of 54 accessions of Aegilops tauschii from five countries was assessed
using sequence-tagged microsatellites (or simple sequence repeats, SSRs) and amplified …
