Domestication of the crop plants has narrowed the genetic base of the crops and thereby mounting their exposure towards global climate change, disease and insect epidemics. Genetic variability of modern days crops must be broadened to make crop production more sustainable against various biotic and abiotic stresses which are posturing major threats to the world. It is therefore, crucial to identify novel additional sources of durable resistance. Wheat wild relatives have provided valuable source
