ABSTRACT: The genus Aegilops L. is considered one of the important
representatives of the wild relative of cultivated plants. The article presents
the place of Aegilops triuncialis L. in plant communities and the status
of populations in the flora of Uzbekistan.
The research was carried out in various botanical and geographical
regions of Uzbekistan during 2021-2023 years. During the research, the existing
literature and geobotanical records, samples stored in the Institute of Botany (TASH)
fund, and data on the GBIF international website were analyzed. Based on literary sources, more than 100 local points were
recorded. The vitality structure of 11 cenopopulations was studied during field
research. Various abiotic and biotic factors
influencing the state of populations were analyzed. The main cenopopulations of
the species were observed to spread in various grassy shrubland
communities.
