With the aim of broadening the gene pool of Triticeae for crop improvement, the genetic diversity of three hexaploid Elymus species indigenous to Japan and East Asia (E. tsukushiensis, E. humidus and E. dahuricus) was evaluated using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers. A total of 34 accessions: five of E. tsukushiensis, 13 of E. humidus, 15 of E. dahuricus, and one tetraploid...
