Özet
Turkey, the origin center of wheat, has a significant role in the world for wheat genetic resources. Wheat landraces and wild relatives with their importance in global safety have lived in Anatolia for a thousand of years. There are many studies about landraces in Turkey. Mirza Gokgöl, in 1939, identified 18,000 ecotypes and 256 new varieties in his Turkish Wheats book. On the contrary to bred wheat cultivars, landraces because of their population structure do have a wide genetic base and carry resistance genes against biotic and abiotic stress factors and serve as genitors to wheat breeders across the world. So many landraces have been utilized as genitors in Turkey and around the world. There are two methods for protection of valuable genetic resources: ex situ and in situ. Genetic resources are protected in gene banks, botanic gardens, and in situ protection sites and made available to scientists. Among them, Turkish National Gene Bank, Turkish Seed Gene Bank, and IRRI (the rice collection at the International Rice Research Institute, Philippines) and CIMMYT (wheat and maize at the International Wheat and Maize Improvement Center, Mexico) gene banks exist. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021.
