We should strengthen training and education for farmers, improve their understanding and application ability of new technologies and varieties. We should also strengthen exchanges and cooperation with international organizations and other countries, introduce advanced technology and management experience, and improve the overall level of wheat research and production in China. 8 Concluding Remarks The systematic review of Triticeae, particularly focusing on wheat and barley, highlights their critical role in global food security. Wheat and barley are among the most important temperate cereal crops, contributing significantly to the global carbohydrate and protein supply. Despite their importance, yield gains for these crops have stagnated in recent decades, particularly in high-yielding regions. Research trends indicate a robust scientific interest in these crops, with numerous studies focusing on their agronomy, genetics, and molecular biology. Comparative evaluations have shown that while wheat has higher gluten strength, barley and rye possess higher essential amino acid proportions, which are crucial for developing healthier food products. The genetic diversity within the Triticeae tribe, including wild relatives, offers valuable resources for breeding programs aimed at improving disease resistance and other agronomically important traits. Advancements in genome sequencing have provided detailed insights into the evolutionary history of Triticeae, revealing divergence times and phylogenetic relationships among species. Genetic and genomic research has also identified key determinants of grain yield, which can be harnessed to enhance yield potential through improved inflorescence architecture. Furthermore, genome editing and other advanced technologies hold promise for overcoming challenges related to climate change, population growth, and environmental sustainability. The Triticeae tribe, encompassing wheat, barley, and rye, plays a pivotal role in ensuring global food security. These crops are not only fundamental to human and animal nutrition but also serve as essential genetic resources for breeding programs aimed at enhancing crop resilience and productivity. The integration of advanced genomic technologies and traditional breeding methods offers a promising pathway to address the challenges posed by climate change and increasing food demand. Future research should focus on leveraging the genetic diversity within Triticeae, particularly the wild relatives, to develop cultivars with improved tolerance to abiotic stresses such as drought and salinity. Additionally, continued efforts in genome sequencing and functional genomics will be crucial for unlocking the full potential of these crops and ensuring sustainable food production systems.
