IntroductionWheat, including Triticum and Aegilops, belongs to the family Gramineae. Triticum is classified into 3 groups: diploid (2n = 14), tetraploid (2n = 28), and hexaploid (2n = 42) (Feldman et al., 1988). Turkey is known as the genetic diversity center of wild relatives of wheat. While the Middle East, Mediterranean, and West Asian gene centers have 22 species, Turkey by itself has 14 different species (Van Slageren, 1994).The cultivation of Einkorn (Triticum monococcum L.) and emmer wheat (Triticum dicoccum) significantly decreased with the widespread use of high-yield durum (Triticum durum L.) and bread (Triticum aestivum L.
