Key Findings
- The study, conducted by Hacettepe University, analyzed genetic differences between Triticum baeoticum and Triticum urartu using advanced genomic tools
- Researchers found significant genetic differences between the two species, confirming their classification as distinct species
- The study demonstrated that DArTseq is a fast, cost-effective, and highly accurate method for species and population discrimination, aiding gene bank management
