Today wheat cultivation is facing rapidly changing climate scenarios and yield instability, aggravated by the spreading of severe diseases such as Fusarium head blight (FHB) crown rot (FCR). To obtain productive genotypes resilient to stress pressure, smart breeding approaches must be envisaged, including exploitation wild relatives. Here we report on assessment potential six durum wheat-Thinop...

Abstract The perennial forage grass Thinopyrum intermedium (Host) Barkworth & Dewey, commonly known as intermediate wheatgrass (IWG) or by the commercial name Kernza™, is being developed a grain crop, i.e. bred for its improved agronomic performance and food qualities. Intercropping legumes grasses strategy improving resource use sustainability in cropping systems. Here, we show first time ...
