Summary The accurate identification and classification of wild species enhance the utilization of potential plant genetic resources. The wild rye species Secale vavilovii Grossh. may serve to broaden the genetic variation in cultivated rye, S. cereale. The combined analyses of cytological, isozymic and other genetic characteristics in the present study revealed that of the fourteen rye accessions designated as S. vavilovii, only three accessions were correctly classified. Thus it is essential to increase multidisciplinary, international research and collaboration to aid in the classification and utilization of the yet untapped plant germplasm.
