Wheat (Triticum aestivum) being an important cereal crop feeds the
human population worldwide. Lower genetic diversity in wheat
resulted in its vulnerability to multiple biotic and abiotic
constraints affecting the yield considerably. To improve its
productivity, genetic improvement is needed. In order to enhance
its genetic base wild ancestors of wheat have been explored and
found valuable to achieve the pressing end. Amphiploids and
Synthetic Hexaploids produced through crossing Durum Wheat
(2n=4x=28; AABB) and diploid progenitors with A and D genome,
respectively, have been recognized as an avenue to harness the wild
genetic potential in its progenitors. These synthetics carry novel
allelic diversity for key biotic stresses such as fungal and viral
diseases. Additionally, abiotic stresses like salinity and drought
tolerances are an added attributes. In this work, experiments are
presented that focused on the recognition of different potential
traits in synthetic Hexaploids to enhance wheat improvement efforts
worldwide.
