The utilisation of Triticum and Aegilops species for the improvement of durum wheat

Monneveux P., Zaharieva M., Rekika D.

An evaluation of the potential interest, for durum wheat improvement, of different species belonging to the Triticum and Aegilops genera is attempted. Main results concerning the evaluation of the different species for biotic stress resistance are presented and examples of successful introgression of diseases or pests resistance genes from alien species into durum (and bread) wheat are given. Some perspectives of utilising related species for improving abiotic stress tolerance and increasing yield potential are presented.
