Application of the MatK Gene sequences to some wild wheat species from Turkey

The 3' region of the matK gene from 16 individuals belonging to four species, Triticum monococcum var. boeoticum, Triticum urartu, Triticum aestivum and Triticum dicoccoides, is used to investigate their evolutional relationships and the effects of ecological and climatical factors on the samples collected from different localities of Central and South-East regions of Anatolia. When sequenced regions were compared with matK. region of Triticum aestivum taken from the GeneBank, species can be divided into two groups. There are base differences at only two positions between these two groups.
