Agro-Physiological and DNA Methylation Responses to Salinity Stress in Wheat (<i>Triticum aestivum</i> L.), <i>Aegilops cylindrica</i> Host, and Their Introgressed Lines.

ABSTRACT: Bottlenecks, including limited genetic variation and the ongoing loss of genetic diversity, have hindered the development of modern wheat cultivars., making it crucial to use genetic diversity from wild relatives to improve wheat's adaptation to abiotic stress, such as salinity. This study assessed the phenotypic and epigenetic variation of introgressed wheat lines (BC₄F₂) derived from hybridizing two wheat cultivars with Aegilops cylindrica (AC). This study assessed the phenotypic and epigenetic variation of 156 introgressed wheat lines (BC₄F₂) derived from hybridization between wheat cultivars "Chinese Spring" (CS) and "Roshan" (R) and Aegilops cylindrica (AC). These lines and their recurrent parents (total of 158) were evaluated
