Triticum compactum or club wheat is a species of wheat adapted to low-humidity growing conditions. T. compactum is similar enough to common wheat (T. aestivum) that it is often considered a subspecies, T. aestivum compactum. It can be distinguished by its more compact ear due to shorter rachis segments, giving it its common name.
The Watkins Landrace Wheat Collection is a unique resource due to the historical nature of being collected in the 1930’s before widespread globalisation of trade, and before intensive selective breeding in wheat to develop high-yielding elite varieties, which resulted in a significant loss of genetic diversity, including resilience traits.
Einkorn wheat is low-yielding but can survive on poor, dry, marginal soils where other varieties of wheat will not. It is primarily eaten boiled in whole grains or in porridge. [ 5 ] As with other ancient varieties of wheat such as emmer , Einkorn is a "covered wheat" as its kernels do not break free from its seed coat ( glume ) with threshing.
Ears of compact wheat. Modern wheat varieties have been selected for short stems, the result of RHt dwarfing genes [14] that reduce the plant's sensitivity to gibberellic acid, a plant hormone that lengthens cells. RHt genes were introduced to modern wheat varieties in the 1960s by Norman Borlaug from Norin 10 cultivars of wheat grown in Japan ...
Jul. 10—Farmer Nathan Larson said his wheat crop turned out better than he expected. "It ended up being about 53 bushels per acre, and the test weight was good, so I was pleased," Larson said.
A friend of his sent him seed from Glasgow in 1842. It is a good yielding wheat, high in quality; an excellent milling wheat. It was grown in Canada from 1860 to 1900, and was the industry standard. Ladoga, 1888. A variety originally from Russia. Early maturing, and the parent of Preston and Stanley. Hard Red Calcutta, 1890. A variety from ...

Extensive testing confirmed the wheat as a variety – MON71800. [47] The wheat had been developed by Monsanto, but never been approved or marketed after the company had tested it between 1998 and 2005. The unexplained presence of this type of wheat presents a problem to wheat growers when buyers demand GMO-free wheat. [48] Japan subsequently ...
