R<b>REVIEW OF SPECIES OF THE GENUS </b><b><i>AEGILOPS</i></b><b> L. (POCEAE)</b><b> IN CENTRAL ASIA</b><b></b>

The article presents data on the distribution and species diversity of the genus Aegilops L. in the countries of Central Asia. Based on field research, literature sources, and analysis of herbarium specimens, six species of the genus are distributed in Central Asia (Aegilops cylindrica, A. crassa, A. tauschii, A. triuncialis, A. juvenalis). The species Aegilops kotschyi Boiss. is reported for the first time for the flora of Uzbekistan. Species of the genus Aegilops L., in addition to being wild relatives of cultivated wheat-one of the main food crops-are grazed by livestock on pastures in early spring. The results of this study will serve as a basis for future work on flora monitoring and regional cadastre assessments.
