Abstract excerpt
Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a staple hexaploid crop with numerous wild relatives. However, domestication and modern breeding have significantly narrowed its genetic diversity, diminishing its capacity to adapt to climate change. Wild relatives of wheat serve as a vital reservoir of genetic diversity, offering traits that enhance its resistance to various biotic and abiotic stresses. Over recent decades,...
