Aegilops species are important crop wild relatives (CWR) characterised by seed heteromorphism. Within each spikelet seeds differ in terms of size, colour, phenology, abiotic stress tolerance among others. although the heteromorphism has a genetic component, level plasticity this character been poorly investigated. To fill gap, we measured effect fertilization on nine species, to understand if nutrient availability can affect reproductive ecology CWR genus. We number stems per plant, spikelets stem, total dry plant biomass, weight and germination percentage fertilized control (non-fertilized) plants. Fertilization did not but increased biomass flowering (hence seeds) However, produced plants showed significantly lower than plants, sort trade-off between quantity quality.
