“…Among the genotypes of this species, genes for BYDV tolerance and resistance to powdery mildew, crown rust, or nematodes have been identified. Additionally, this species is a source of genes that determine high protein and oil content in grains, as well as traits related to early maturity, rapid vegetative growth, and high yield [154,177,183,184,188,[201][202][203][204]. Therefore, A. sterilis can be found in the pedigrees of many American cultivars, e.g., Starter, where this wild species contributed to increased grain protein content, Ozark (with improved winter hardiness [205]), or Sheldon (with high yielding potential [206]).…”
