In this study, phylogenetic and evolutionary relationships between wild and cultivated species of
Triticum L. and
Aegilops L., were studied using karyotype analysis. For each population, three metaphase cells was prepared and karyotype traits were calculated. A significant difference was observed between the species for all the traits evaluated. The results showed that the
Triticum L. and
Ae.
speltoides have higher chromosomes than other species.
Ae. umbllulata revealed the highest ratio of the arms and the lowest centromeric index. Cluster analysis of species based on karyotypic traits was able to distinguish species of the
Aegilops L. and
Triticum L. Although
Ae.
speltoides were placed in
Triticum L. cluster. The species were classified in different subgroups according to their genome. Based on
discriminant analysis, genotypes of
Ae. tauschii,
Ae. umbllulata,
Ae. triuncialis,
Ae. cylindrical,
T. aestivum and
T. turgidum were completely separated. In general,
Aegilops species had more developed karyotypes.
