Potential of Wild Relatives of Wheat: Ideal Genetic Resources for Future Breeding Programs

Among cereal crops, wheat has been identified as a major source for human food consumption. Wheat breeders require access to new genetic diversity resources satisfy the demands of growing population more with high quality that can be produced in variable environmental conditions. The close relatives domesticated wheats represent an ideal gene pool use breeders. genera Aegilops and Triticum are known main wheat, including numerous species different interesting genomic constitutions. According literature, each wild relative harbors useful alleles which induce resistance various stresses. Furthermore, progress biotechnology sciences provided accurate information regarding phylogenetic relationships among species, consequently opened avenues reconsider potential provide context how we employ them future breeding programs. In present review, have sought level well used wheat-breeding
