Abstract
Jointed goatgrass (Aegilops cylindrica) is a weed that causes serious problems in winter wheat fields in the western United States. Jointed goatgrass and wheat have a close genetic relationship and share many traits. To date, no herbicide has been developed that can selectively remove jointed goatgrass from conventional wheat. However, current herbicide-resistant wheat technology will provide producers with a tool to control jointed goatgrass in the crop. Concerns remain, though, that the resistance genes could move from wheat into jointed goatgrass populations. Understanding the genetic relationship between wheat and jointed goatgrass will help with the development of management strategies that minimize the potential for gene flow between the two species.
