Wheat (Triticum L.), an annual herbaceous plant in Poacae (Gramineae) family, settles in the Triticeae (Hordeae) subfamily. The grasses (Poaceae Barnhart) are the fifth largest (monocotyledonous flowering) plant family and of great importance for human civilization and life. Cereal crops such as maize, wheat, rice, barley, and millet are the domesticated ones in the family. It is still the most vital economical plant family in modern times, providing food, forage, building materials (bamboo, thatch), and fuel (ethanol).
Wheat has many accessions in national and international gene banks. The estimated number of wheats by FAO in 2010 is 856,000, and, followed by rice (774,000), and barley (467,000). However, the recent consumer's (misdirected) focus on gluten content and nutritional value urges scientists to reexamine their knowledge about wheat (i.e., origin, evolution, and general and special quality characteristics), as well as their wild relatives and landraces for newer possible genetic resources. Cultured or non-cultured ancestral wheats: einkorn, emmer, wild emmer, spelt, macha, and vavilovii are still limitedly grown on the higher areas in Turkey, Italy, Germany, Morocco, Israel, and Balkan countries. They are exploited mostly for their desired agronomic, and specific quality. In some cultures, wheat species are believed to be therapeutic, with bioactive compounds that reduce and inhibit stubborn illnesses such as diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer, and cardiovascular diseases. In this book, we summarize the importance of ancestral wheat species, and provide a prospect for their future with special considerations in terms of species conservation and improvement.
Hakan Ulukan graduated from The University of Ankara, Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Field Crops, 06110, Diskapi, Ankara, Türkiye in 1987. After graduation he began MSc, and upon the completion it was sent to Italy for 7 months on "Cereal Agriculture". After returning, he started his Ph.D. thesis in 1990, and completed it in 1997 on "wheat rust diseases". Now, he is an academic staff at the same Dept. His study areas are cereals (major and minor), wheat rusts diseases, wheat landraces, wheat growing and breeding, plant genetic resources, biotic/abiotic stresses, global warming effect(s) on field crop(s)' production, agronomy, and ecology, etc.

Prof. Dr. Shahid Mansoor is currently serving as Director of National Institute for Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering (NIBGE), Faisalabad, Pakistan and Principal of NIBGE-C, a constituent college of Pakistan Institute for Engineering and Applied Sciences, Islamabad. Dr. Mansoor completed his Ph.D. from John Innes Center, Norwich, UK. He is also recipient of Royal Society and Fulbright Fellowships. Dr. Mansoor is HEC Distinguished National Professor and Fellow Pakistan Academy of Sciences. He is using genomics and genome editing tools to enhance yield, nutritional value and quality of food crops and livestock for food and nutritional value.
Dr. Awais Rasheed is currently serving as Assistant Professor at Quaid-i-Azam University, Pakistan. He is leading a research group on wheat biology where major focus is to develop new genotyping platforms for wheat breeding. He was awarded Vavilov-Frankel Fellowship in 2013 and excellent young researcher award from Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences in 2016. He has published more than 60 research papers in first-tier journals on wheat genetics, pre-breeding, genomics, and molecular breeding.
