Abstract :This study concerns the evaluation of 19 vegetative and reproductive characters insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(7 qualitative and 12 quantitative); among 45 accessions belonging to wild and cultivated tetraploid Triticum L. species: T. turgidum L., T. durum Desf., T. dicoccum insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Schrank); Schrebler and T. dicoccoides insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Koern. ex Aschers. et Graebn.); Aaronsohn, occurring in Iran. The results of this study show that T. turgidum is a distinct species from T. durum, and T. dicoccum showed high similarity to T. dicoccoides. The strong relationship between the latter pair of species may result from a high degree of gene flow between them. The diagnostic characters between T. turgidum and the other 3 species are the number of awns in the uppermost spikelet, form of the keel of the glume, leaf indumentum, spike shape, lodicule form and quality of the endosperm.
