• Grain zinc, iron and protein concentrations and zinc-efficiency in wild emmer wheat under contrasting irrigation regimes (2008, background): “It might be related to growth conditions or rather to the higher seed protein concentrations of wild wheat species (Nevo et al. 2002).”
• Domestication evolution, genetics and genomics in wheat (2011, background): “The other wild diploid Triticum species, T. urartu (AuAu), occurs in parts of the Fertile Crescent (Zohary and Hopf 2000), and has played an essential role in wheat evolution though it has never been domesticated.”
• Genetic variation and environmental stability of grain mineral nutrient concentrations in Triticum dicoccoides under five environments (2009, unknown): “Wild emmer wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. 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).”
• Geographic distribution and domestication of wild emmer wheat (Triticum dicoccoides) (2010, methodology): “The species seems to be adapted to various geological conditions (Schweinfurth 1908); today, T. dicoccoides grows mainly in basalt areas in Turkey (H. Özkan et al., unpublished), but also on hard limestone bedrocks and on terra rossa soils (Schweinfurth 1908; Nevo et al. 2002).”
• Wild emmer: genetic resources, gene mapping and potential for wheat improvement (2008, background): “Ongoing programs in Israel, USA, Canada, China, Australia, and Europe are currently utilizing genes from T. dicoccoides in wheat improvement (Nevo et al. 2002; DePauw et al. 2005, 2007; Zhou et al. 2005; Blanco et al. 2006; http://maswheat.ucdavis.edu/Germplasms/index.html).”
