“…Genetic diversity has been evaluated in wheat and its relatives using morphological data (Lee & Kaltsikes, 1973), protein variation (Cox et al, 1985;Graybosch, 1992) and DNA markers (Chen et al, 1994;Barrett et al, 1998;Paull et al, 1998;Bohn et al, 1999;Prasad et al, 2000;Soleimani et al, 2002;Almanza-Pinzon et al, 2003;Naghavi et al, 2004Naghavi et al, , 2007. However, it is important to determine whether different diversity estimation methods provide similar information concerning the degree of variation among wheat genotypes (Burkhamer et al, 1998).…”
