Aegilops speltoides (syn. Sitopsis speltoides (Tausch) Á.Löve) is an edible goatgrass in the family Poaceae native to Southeastern Europe and Western Asia, which is often used for animal feed, and it has grown in cultivated beds. This plant is an important natural source of disease resistance in wheat,[1] and it is known or likely to be susceptible to barley mild mosaic bymovirus.
