Some scholars refer to it as T. turgidum subspecies carthlicum.[3][4][5] Recent research suggest that T. carthlicum originated from a cross between domesticated emmer wheat and T. aestivum.[6][7]
Diseases
T. carthlicum is the source of Pm4b, a resistance gene encoding a MCTP kinase used in hexaploid wheat.[8] Pmb4 confers powdery mildew resistance.[8]
