Genetic diversity for drought resistance in wild emmer wheat and its ecogeographical associations (2005, background): “Over a long evolutionary history under the heterogeneous ecologies of Israel and surrounding regions, wild emmer accumulated a wealth of genetic diversity and adaptations to multiple abiotic and biotic ecological stress conditions (Nevo et al. 2002).”
Variation for resistance to head blight caused by Fusarium graminearum in wild emmer (Triticum dicoccoides) originating from Israel (2003, background): “Wild wheats harbour important genetic resources that should be exploited in breeding programs to introduce resistance to a broad range of climatic extremes, poor soils, diseases and pests (Nevo et al., 2002; Nevo & Beiles, 1989).”
Wild emmer wheat, 'Triticum dicoccoides', occupies a pivotal position in wheat domestication process (2011, background): “…large portion of cryptic beneficial alleles together with genes for resistance or tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses and high protein content (Nevo et al., 2002) could substantially advance the utilization of T. dicoccoides for wheat improvement (Xie and Nevo, 2008; Gustafson et al., 2009;…”
Wild emmer: genetic resources, gene mapping and potential for wheat improvement (2008, background): “tritici, is a very damaging wheat disease (Bennet 1984; Nevo et al. 2002).”
Domestication evolution, genetics and genomics in wheat (2011, background): “The best strategy for wheat improvement is to utilize the adaptive genetic resources of the wild progenitors, wild emmer T. dicoccoides and other wheat relatives (Feldman and Sears 1981; Nevo and Beiles 1989; Nevo et al. 2002; Nevo 2011).”
Chromosomal location of genes for resistance to powdery mildew in common wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell.). 9. Gene MlZec1 from the Triticum dicoccoides-derived wheat line Zecoi-1 (2005, background): “dicoccoides is a valuable genetic resource possessing genes for potentially major impact on future wheat breeding programs in regard to quality (Nevo et al., 2002; Xu et al., 2004) and pathogen resistance (Gerechter-Amitai & Stubbs, 1970; Moseman et al.”
Multiple QTL‐effects of wheat Gpc‐B1 locus on grain protein and micronutrient concentrations (2007, background): “…harbor a wide allelic variation relevant for the improvement of various economically important traits in cultivated wheats (e.g. Fahima et al. 1998, Nevo et al. 2002, Peleg et al. 2005), including grain mineral concentrations (e.g. Cakmak et al. 2004) a progenitor for the substitution of…”
Genetic variation and environmental stability of grain mineral nutrient concentrations in Triticum dicoccoides under five environments (2009, unknown): “dicoccoides) has been found to show a substantial diversity and higher concentrations of Zn, Fe and protein in grain when compared to modern wheat cultivars (Nevo et al. 2002; Cakmak et al. 1999, 2004; Peleg et al. 2008).”
