Drought is the main environmental stress limiting crop productivity and yield stability worldwide. Improving drought resistance of crop plants is considered a sustainable and economically viable solution to increasing agricultural productivity under diminishing water availability. The implementation of this solution requires wide explorations of potential genetic resources and in-depth understanding of their adaptive mechanisms and responses to water deficit. In this minireview we summarize the physiological, ecological, and genetic aspects of drought resistance in wild emmer wheat [Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccoides (Korn.) Thell.] and discuss their implications on wheat improvement. A comprehensive survey of wild emmer wheat populations, collected across the aridity gradient in Israel, revealed wide genetic diversity for drought responses, with a considerable number of wild accessions exhibiting an advantage over durum wheat cultivars. A variety of adaptive traits associated with improved performances u...
