| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Emmer wheat was domesticated from the wild emmer wheat in northern Levant about 10,000 years ago. The wild emmer wheat has adapted to a wide range of environment in their natural habitat and has a high level of genetic diversity within and among natural populations. The wild emmer wheat is an important resource in a breeding program for the changes in the global environment. However the natural populations are in danger of extinction due to the human induced ecological destruction in the area. In the present study, we developed a set of “quasi-natural population” in which the original genetic diversity within the population are maintained. In addition, we have started the evaluation of genetic diversity in the wild emmer wheat using the “quasi-natural population”.
