Abstract: Species with the StH genome in Triticeae are included in the genus Elymus sensu lato. In order to investigate the phylogeny of the StH genome in Triticeae, nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences of 16 species with the StH genome were analyzed together with those of five Pseudoroegneria (St) and three Hordeum (H) accessions. The maximum marsimony (MP), maximum likelihood (ML) and median joining algorithm (MJ) methods were used to reconstruct the phylogenetic tree. The results indicated that:1) Sitanion jubatum, Sitanion hystrix and Hystrix patula are closely related to Elymus species, and should be transferred to Elymus; 2) the StH genome species distributed in North American have close relationships. There is diversity and differentiation between the North American and Eurasian StH genome species; 3) a certain degree of diversity and differentiation of StH genome species is in good agreement with their geographical distributions;4) a certain degree of differentiation was found in diploid species with St and H genomes. Meanwhile, the possible reasons for the differentiation of StH genome species are also discussed.
