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 ...
Wheat is a natural hybrid derived from interspecies breeding. It is theorized that wheat's ancestors ( Triticum monococcum , Aegilops speltoides , and Aegilops tauschii , all diploid grasses) hybridized naturally over millennia somewhere in West Asia, to create natural polyploid hybrids, the best known of which are common wheat and durum wheat .
Nina Farrer (1848–1929). Farrer was born on 3 April 1845 in the town of Docker, Westmorland in the English north west (now Cumbria).The son of Thomas Farrer, a tenant farmer, and his wife Sarah William, William Farrer was selected for a scholarship at Christ's Hospital, London where he was awarded a gold and silver medal for mathematics and soon earned a scholarship to Pembroke College where ...
The following international wheat production statistics come from the Food and Agriculture Organization figures from FAOSTAT database, older from International Grains Council figures from the report "Grain Market Report". The quantities of wheat in the following table are in million metric tonnes. All countries with a typical production ...
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.
A domestic animal of unknown ancestry, where the breed status of only one parent or grandparent is known, may also be called a crossbreed though the term "mixed breed" is technically more accurate. Outcrossing is a type of crossbreeding used within a purebred breed to increase the genetic diversity within the breed, particularly when there is a ...
Wheat origins by repeated hybridization and polyploidy (e.g. "6N" means 6 sets of chromosomes per cell rather than the usual 2). Only a few of the wheat species involved are shown. The goatgrass species involved are not known for certain. [6] Aegilops is important in wheat evolution because of its
