Emmer - Wikipedia
Wild emmer is native to the Fertile Crescent of the Middle East, growing in the grass and woodland of hill country from modern-day Israel to Iran. The origin of wild emmer has been suggested, without universal agreement among scholars, to be the Karaca Dağ mountain region of southeastern Turkey.
Wild emmer genome architecture and diversity elucidate wheat …
Jul 7, 2017 · Identifying genetic modifications underlying wheat's domestication requires knowledge about the genome of its allo-tetraploid progenitor, wild emmer (T. turgidum ssp. dicoccoides). We report a 10.1-gigabase assembly of the 14 chromosomes of wild tetraploid wheat, as well as analyses of gene content, genome architecture, and genetic diversity.
Population genomics unravels the Holocene history of bread …
Mar 16, 2023 · We reconstructed the tree using a 100-times bootstrap for the A, B, AB or D lineage. Barley, wild emmer and an accession of strangulata were set as the outgroup for corresponding trees.

Apr 5, 2022 · Tetraploid (AABB) wild emmer wheat has a modern-day range that spans the western Fertile Crescent, southeastern Turkey, and the mountainous regions of eastern Iraq and western Iran.
Wild emmer wheat, the progenitor of modern bread wheat, …
Jan 6, 2023 · Wild emmer wheat is an excellent reservoir of genetic variability that can be utilized to improve cultivated wheat to address the challenges of the expanding world population and climate change. Bearing this in mind, we have collected a panel of 263 wild emmer wheat (WEW) genotypes across the Fertile Crescent.
Wild Emmer Genome Assembly (Zavitan WEWSeq v.1.0)
An international consortium has generated a high quality reference sequence of the wild emmer wheat (WEW) accession 'Zavitan'. The WEW reference genome was constructed using a whole genome shotgun (WGS) approach to produce sequence scaffolds using the DenovoMagic2 software (NRGene Ltd.).
Harnessing the diversity of wild emmer wheat for genetic
Mar 7, 2022 · The multiple derivative lines (MDLs) characterized in this study offer a promising strategy for harnessing the diversity of wild emmer wheat for durum and bread wheat improvement. Crop domestication has diminished genetic diversity and reduced phenotypic plasticity and adaptation.
