Triticeae Genomics and Genetics, 2024, Vol.15, No.2, 111-120 http://cropscipublisher.com/index.php/tgg 119 be harnessed for crop improvement, particularly in enhancing food security. A substantial portion of the Triticeae species are perennials, which are crucial forage grasses. Despite their importance, these perennials have been less studied compared to annuals like wheat, barley, and rye. Understanding the transcriptional patterns associated with pathogens in the Triticeae tribe is essential for improving plant immunity and resistance to diseases, which is critical for maintaining crop health and productivity. Additionally, triticale, a hybrid of wheat and rye, exhibits excellent resistance to environmental stresses and diseases, making it a valuable crop for food, forage, and industrial applications. In summary, these studies reveal the diversity and potential of the Triticeae tribe, providing valuable resources and new perspectives for modern agriculture. These research findings have multiple important implications for agriculture and ecology. By utilizing the genetic diversity within the Triticeae tribe, especially from wild and weedy taxa, it is possible to develop more resistant and higher-yielding crop varieties, thus promoting global food security. The perennial species within the Triticeae tribe offer sustainable forage options, supporting livestock nutrition and reducing the need for annual replanting, thereby promoting ecological stability. Additionally, insights into the transcriptional responses of the Triticeae tribe to pathogens can inform breeding programs aimed at developing disease-resistant varieties, which are crucial for reducing crop losses and ensuring stable yields. The adaptability and resilience of triticale make it a versatile crop for various agricultural and industrial environments, enhancing its economic and environmental benefits. Through these studies, the diversity and potential of the Triticeae tribe are revealed, providing valuable resources and new perspectives for modern agriculture. Research emphasizes the ecological and agricultural significance of the Triticeae tribe. To fully utilize its potential, research on perennial plants within the Triticeae tribe should be increased to explore their potential as forage and their genetic contribution to annual cereals. Priority should be given to the conservation and utilization of genetic diversity within the Triticeae tribe to enhance crop resilience and adaptability. Additionally, continued research on the molecular mechanisms of disease resistance in Triticeae is crucial for developing integrated disease management strategies to ensure crop health. Given its resistance and versatility, triticale should be promoted as a key crop for the agricultural and industrial sectors, with ongoing efforts to improve its breeding and utilization. By addressing these areas, the full potential of the Triticeae tribe can be realized, promoting sustainable agriculture and ecological balance..
