Phylogenetic relationships among Triticum L. and Aegilops L. species as genome progenitors of bread wheat based on sequence diversity in trnT-F region of chloroplast DNA

Phylogeny of cultivated and wild wheat species using ATR–FTIR spectroscopy

“…Not only at the genus level, but also at the species level, the species concerned are discriminated according to their evolutionary relatedness and our results show similar patterns with a previous analysis on the trnT-F region of chloroplast DNA [8]. PCR is a precise and widely accepted technique that gives reliable results in phylogenetic research.…”

“…Discrimination of the concerned Triticum species according to their differences at the genomic level were also observed in a previous phylogenetic study based on sequence diversity in the trnT-F region of chloroplast DNA [8].…”

“…tauschii, T. spelta, T. aestivum and Ae. cylindrica was observed elsewhere [8]. The principal component analysis also supported the hierarchical cluster analysis by displaying a clear discrimination between A + B and C clades.…”

“…speltoides and its varieties) next to the polyploid Triticum A sub-cluster is interesting and also observed before [8]. This sub-cluster is named B, since the common denominator between the species is the BB genome (Table 1).…”

“…Until recently, these systems were mostly based on morphological characteristics observed within herbarium samples. Within the last decade, an accumulation of molecular genetic data (analysis of nuclear, chloroplast and mitochondrial genes) has been applied to wheat taxonomy [8,9]. But these techniques are expensive and technically demanding.…”
