In rural Turkey's dry, rocky landscapes, wild wheat relatives like Triticum dicoccoides and T. araraticum continue to thrive, providing valuable genetic diversity for future wheat improvement. Photo: Hakan Ozkan, CUK. May, 2025.
Triticum dicoccoides, as a wild progenitor of domesticated wheat, coexists with native vegetation and serves as a critical genetic reservoir for breeding climate-resilient cultivars. Photo: Hakan Ozkan, CUK. May 2025.
Triticum boeoticum, the wild progenitor of domesticated einkorn wheat, thrives in rocky and arid environments, demonstrating traits of drought tolerance and genetic resilience. Photo: Hakan Ozkan, CUK. May 2025.
