Utilisation of Aegilops (goatgrass) species to widen the genetic diversity of cultivated wheat
2008-09-01
Abstract excerpt
Wild Aegilops species related to cultivated wheat (Triticum spp.) possess numerous genes of agronomic interest and can be valuable sources of resistance to diseases, pests and extreme environmental factors. These genes can be incorporated into the wheat genome via intergeneric crossing, following, where necessary, the development of chromosome addition and substitution lines from the resulting hybrids. The transfe...
