Triticum Polonicum Subsp. Abyssinicum

Triticum polonicum subsp. abyssinicum is a lesser-known wheat species that thrives in high-altitude regions of Ethiopia. This subspecies is notable for its unique genetic makeup and adaptability to harsh environmental conditions. It has been historically used by local communities for both food and traditional practices. Despite its significance, it remains under-researched and overlooked in modern agricultural studies. Its potential for sustainable farming and crop diversity makes it a valuable subject for further exploration.
