  2. Triticale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triticale

    Conventional plant breeding has helped establish triticale as a valuable crop, especially where conditions are less favourable for wheat cultivation. Triticale being a synthesized grain notwithstanding, many initial limitations, such as an inability to reproduce due to infertility and seed shrivelling, low yield and poor nutritional value, have ...

  3. Crop wild relative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crop_wild_relative

    Wild emmer wheat (Triticum dicoccoides), a CWR of cultivated wheats (Triticum spp), can be found in northern Israel. Two conservationists collecting indigenous knowledge on cultural practices that favour CWR populations, from a farmer near Fes, Morocco. A crop wild relative (CWR) is a wild plant closely related to a domesticated plant.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selection_methods_in_plant...

    The mode of reproduction of a crop determines its genetic composition, which, in turn, is the deciding factor to develop suitable breeding and selection methods. Knowledge of mode of reproduction is also essential for its artificial manipulation to breed improved types.

    Most staple food grains, like wheat, rice, soybean, maize and sorghum, need no insect help at all; they are wind or self-pollinated. Other staple food crops, like bananas and plantains, are propagated from cuttings, and produce fruit without pollination (parthenocarpy).

  7. Emmer - Wikipedia

Grains of wild emmer discovered at Ohalo II had a radiocarbon dating of 17,000 BC and at the Pre-Pottery Neolithic A (PPNA) site of Netiv Hagdud are 10,000 ...

  9. Shattering (agriculture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shattering_(agriculture)

    Non-shattering phenotype is one of the prerequisites for plant breeding especially when introgressing valuable traits from wild varieties of domesticated crops. [1] A particularly important mutation that was selected very early in the history of agriculture removed the "brittle rachis" problem from wheat. [2]
