Euphytica Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Eight Triticum species are found in Armenia and due to their great diversity they can be divided into a number of subspecies and botanical varieties. This also holds true for agricultural properties such as yield, growth habit, winter hardiness, straw strength and resistance to fungal diseases.

Several collection numbers are of value for breeding purposes.
