Aegilops umbellulata
Aegilops umbellulata, commonly known as umbel goatgrass, is an annual grass species closely related to wheat. It is indigenous to the East Aegean Islands, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon-Syria, Transcaucasus, and Turkey. The hybridization between Ae. umbellulata and wheat is known to produce rust-resistant plants. The species has been used in genetic research to transfer leaf-rust resistance from Ae. umbellulata to wheat.
