the genus of aegilops a wild and weedy relative of bread wheats, has wide distribution in middle east and west asia, these areas include major parts of iran. the species in this genus have a great role in hexaploid wheat evolution and they are donor of d and b genome, directly and indirectly. to identify some iranian aegilops accessions, one handred and three accessions from eight species from ...

Among wild relatives of wheat, Aegilops species are ideal genetic resources for the discovery new characteristics such as resistance to environmental stresses and even grain quality wheat improvement. Hence, knowledge population structure diversity this germplasm is very important their conservation further utilization. In present study, 80 accessions including Ae. tauschii, cylindrica triuncia...

Diploid Aegilops umbellulata and Ae. comosa and their natural allotetraploid hybrids Ae. biuncialis and Ae. geniculata are important wild gene sources for wheat. With the aim of assisting in alien gene transfer, this study provides gene-based conserved orthologous set (COS) markers for the U and M genome chromosomes. Out of the 140 markers tested on a series of wheat-Aegilops chromosome introgr...
